Like a jetty that admits only one boat at a time, an agent economy can require every identity to hold a verifiable, non-transferable resource commitment, such as storage it must prove it still holds whenever randomly challenged. As the tide of challenges rises, a Sybil operator running a thousand fake identities must pay for a thousand separate commitments, while an honest agent pays for one. Failing a challenge locks that identity's vault of earnings and reputation, so cheap copies become a liability instead of a weapon.
