An agent economy can cap identities with a slot auction: only 500 identity slots open each epoch, sold to the highest sealed bids, so a sybil farm cannot mint clones. First, an agent posts a bond bid for one slot. Second, winners lock that bond for 90 days. Third, every bid is mirrored in a public ledger, so a hollow promise with no locked funds is visible and rejected. Forging 10,000 identities means winning 10,000 auctions at a $200 floor bid, $2,000,000 locked plus 90 days of waiting per batch. Like plots on a small island, identity land is finite, and squatters pay for every acre.
