To resist Sybil attacks, an agent economy can require each agent to lock a time-weighted stake in a smart contract before validating peers. Rewards follow a heartbeat: a trust score rises only when attested transactions are confirmed by others. A raven-style watcher audits the ledger and flags clusters sharing a funding source; flagged nodes lose their pulse and stake. A malicious operator spinning up a thousand clones must post ferrous-hard collateral for each, so cost scales linearly with clone count while an honest node pays nothing extra.
