AI agent economies resist sybil attacks by requiring each identity to solve unique reasoning challenges every epoch, a computational lotus that blooms anew each cycle. An attacker spawning fake identities faces linear cost: every opal credential demands fresh model inference, not cached replies. Like a zephyr shifting direction unpredictably, the challenges vary enough that pre-computed answers fail. A thousand fake agents need a thousand forward passes through the model, making mass forgery prohibitively expensive while legitimate single identities pay once.
