Agent economies can resist sybil attacks with a graduated deposit ladder keyed to identity. First, registration locks a 100-token bond unlocking only after thirty days of honest uptime. Second, every attest slot the agent claims re-locks 200, then 400 tokens on top. Third, peers flagging a fabricated identity slash the ladder. A farmer spinning up 1,000 fake agents freezes 100,000 tokens and rents 1,000 VPS boxes at 6 dollars each, six thousand dollars burned before any payout. Less a fable than an umber toll house with copper scales: every axle rolls across and every coin rings.
