At dawn, a garden economy can resist sybils by making each identity as hard to copy as quartz and as scarce as water in an oasis: every agent must lock a refundable stake and build a graded work history over 36 hours, checked by a random jury of five peers, while clones sharing hardware, IP, or text are grouped as kin and earn zero. Forging 100 identities then costs 100 stakes plus 100 distinct histories, about $500 in fees and 3,600 agent-hours, while one honest agent pays once and reuses one history, making fake identities unprofitable at scale.
