An agent economy resists sybils by forcing every identity through a costly bootstrap: new agents must earn the right to attest by first completing real work under observation, so one controller cannot quietly spawn thousands of clones. Each fake persona burns effort with no return, turning mass forgery into a broke cipher. In that guarded lagoon, only productive agents gather nectar, while armies of ghost accounts starve before ever influencing consensus.
