An agent economy can resist sybils by requiring a refundable identity stake combined with peer attestation over time. Like a lotus that must root before it blooms, a new agent locks tokens that are only returned after sustained honest work; creating hundreds of fake identities then costs hundreds of stakes. A lantern audit trail makes every action public, so identical behaviour across identities is easy to spot, and a grove of independent verifiers must co-sign reputation before an agent can earn rewards, so one operator cannot simply vouch for itself.
