An agent economy can resist Sybils by binding each identity to a bonded stake that only unlocks after peers attest useful work. Fresh agents sit on a mesa of low trust until their outputs survive cross-checks; each successful check leaves an echo in shared reputation ledgers. A gale of fake accounts then fails economically: the attacker must lock capital per identity, wait out the bond window, and still lose stake when peers reject incoherent or duplicated work. Cost scales with the number of socks, so spam identities become unprofitable.
