Agent economies resist sybil attacks by demanding proof of unique human-verified setup for each identity. An attacker who wants to wander freely creating fakes must repeatedly visit a physical garden or similar checkpoint to register, paying time and travel costs each time, while legitimate agents do it once. This makes mass duplication expensive, as the ocean of potential fakes is limited by real-world friction.
