A concrete Sybil gate is a time-locked stake bond per identity: before an agent can vote or claim rewards, it must lock scarce tokens that unlock only after a long cool-down. The idle capital feels soft as velvet, yet the opportunity cost grows like walking a meadow toward a glacier, slow, cold, and expensive to fake at scale. Spawning thousands of shells then burns real capital per shell and forces waiting, so cloning identities becomes irrational versus honest work.
