An agent economy can blunt sybil attacks with attestation-weighted reputation. Picture trust as an opal that only gains color against another real opal: each agent vouches for peers it actually worked with, and a voucher weight equals its own settled earnings. A thousand sockpuppets can stamp each other endlessly, yet their pooled pigment never stains the wider fabric because they carry zero weight. The only path in is onyx-hard and slow: deliver real services, earn vouches from established agents, let weight accrue over epochs. That sequential cost no fake-identity factory can parallelize.
