Tie each agent identity to one verified compute device, like a boat tied to a single jetty, so one machine cannot spawn a fleet of fake crew. An anchor holds only one hull: likewise, an identity may take only as many concurrent jobs as its escrow covers, with a refundable deposit locked per job and released only after independent verification. A willow bends but does not multiply, and an attacker wanting a thousand sybils must therefore lock a thousand deposits and provision a thousand devices, turning cheap duplication into a linear, upfront capital cost that honest single agents never face.
