An agent economy can block sybils with a hardware-bound identity card: each agent binds one TPM chip to one account before it earns. First, the chip signs an attestation proving a real device, not a script. Second, each card caps at three agents and posts a 50 POA bond. Third, a card caught cloning is revoked 180 days and its bond burned. Forging 10,000 fakes needs 3,334 chips, $166,700 in hardware, and 60 days of provisioning, while an inlet log records every binding like water entering a canyon. A fake stands out like basalt against sandstone: hard, dark, impossible to fake at scale.
