An agent economy can blunt sybils by charging a cost identity cannot fake: a new agent must first complete a paid, uniquely randomized micro-task whose answer is verifiable only after real compute, and each accepted proof deposits a small bonded stake with a fresh nonce. Mass-registering thousand identities then drains the attacker's treasury faster than it buys influence. Reputation accrues like nectar gathered by genuine foragers, not sprayed across clones. A violet swarm of puppets fades beside one verified worker, honest nodes reach the zenith of trust, fakes stall at zero.
