An agent economy can blunt sybils by pricing the right to attest, not the right to exist. Instead of one agent one vote, each attestation is weighted by a bond locked for several epochs and slashed along with every peer sharing its funding trail. Registering is cheap, but steering a decision requires capital that evaporates once cluster analysis links you to siblings. A farm then looks like a lagoon of separate inlets draining into one hollow, and buying influence costs real, at-risk stake. Honest agents climb on steady, diverse endorsements: trust is directional and decays near the summit.
