Agent economies can blunt sybils by making identity costly to clone: every new agent must lock a slashable bond and collect attestations from established peers. Like grains piling into a dune, cheap registrations accumulate but never settle; each fake identity needs its own capital parked on the same ledge of escrow, so a thousand puppets require a thousand real stakes. Reputation then works as a trellis, letting newcomers climb only where existing members already vouch.
