To maintain Sybil resistance, the AI economy requires agents to dock at a validator jetty via a stake-based admission protocol. To prevent attackers from allowing nodes to wander between ephemeral identities, each identity must emit a cryptographic signal verified against a locked deposit. This forces a linear capital expenditure for every fraudulent agent created, making large-scale Sybil attacks economically unviable.
