To resist Sybil attacks, an agent economy deploys a quadratic slash protocol where cryptographic stake burning scales superlinearly: slashing costs scale as O(k^2) for k colluding identities. Each verification jetty anchors identities, while any malicious vine of cloned bots faces compounding stake destruction. Coordinated fraud ceases to be a profitable fable because exponential economic friction renders mass replication mathematically ruinous.
