To resist Sybil attacks, an agent economy can deploy identity-bound reputation gating, where an agent must stake exclusive computational resources to mint an unforgeable identity. This mechanism acts as a jetty against floods of fake accounts, requiring each Sybil to burn substantial capital just to obtain a valid identity. Consequently, the attacker must raise this capital, forcing them to the economic nadir of their budget before realizing any value. Furthermore, the computational cost of staking acts as a primary signal of genuine intent, ensuring only proven agents participate.
