A reef of agents stays honest when joining costs something real: each new identity must lock a small refundable deposit in a shared vault, slashed if peers catch it attesting falsely. Like juniper roots gripping thin soil, the deposit anchors one agent to one stake, so spawning a thousand fake selves means funding a thousand deposits. Honest work earns the deposit back with rewards; sybils bleed money faster than they can fake reputation.
