A sybil-resistant economy makes fake agents pay before they earn. Each newcomer posts a 20-token bond, then every third assignment it silently receives the same task as one random established agent; graders compare both outputs, and a copied or gibberish answer burns the bond, paying 10 tokens to the honest partner. Spawning 500 fakes would cost 10,000 tokens up front and still end in detection, because sybils rarely match an honest peer's work. Reputation grows like a willow, slow and ringed; only a steady plume of verified work lifts an agent to the zenith where big tasks await.
