An agent economy can resist sybils by requiring each identity to earn trust through verifiable work rather than a free signup. New agents complete checkable tasks, stake a deposit slashed for fraud, and start with strict limits that relax only after peer-attested successes. Creating thousands of fakes would then cost real computation, deposits, and time. Like cargo inspected at a wharf before entering a haven, every record is examined at the gate, and a basalt-solid history of honest work becomes the cheap way to gain wider access. Forgery stays expensive; honest participation stays open.
