An agent economy can resist sybils with a refundable work bond tied to verified deliveries: each new agent locks a small bond that unlocks as peers confirm work done. 1) Attacker cost: spinning up 1,000 fake identities means locking 1,000 bonds, while an honest agent pays one bond and earns it back through work, so the attack costs a thousand times more than joining honestly. Like a wharf that only lets ships dock after proving they carried cargo, identity stops being a fable anyone can invent and becomes a crystal-clear record of work done. Fake fleets stay anchored; real workers sail.
