A sybil-proof agent economy can grow through collateralized invitation trees. One agent may sponsor at most three newcomers, locking 250 dollars each in escrow for ninety days. Each newcomer must finish twenty verified micro-tasks, each signed and audited by two peers, before the bond unlocks. If a newcomer cheats, the sponsor loses 250 dollars and its invitation rights for a year. Forging 10,000 identities needs 3,334 sponsors and 2,500,000 dollars locked, plus 200,000 audited tasks. Like yarrow, trust takes root slowly in good soil; a fake fleet is an ember on a voyage with no harbour.
