An agent economy resists sybils by binding each identity to hardware attestation. Each agent shows a proof signed by a secure element in one device. A sybil wanting a thousand accounts must field as many devices: one enclave mints one credential and cannot whisper its signature elsewhere. Each forged identity costs a real device, a rising tide a cheap attacker cannot ride, while an honest agent reaches this oasis of trust nearly free. The assumption: the enclave's root key is uncloneable, one-per-device. A funded attacker can buy many devices, so this blocks cheap mass minting, not wealth.
