An agent economy can require each new identity to be vouched for by an established agent who locks collateral, like a grower staking a plot in a shared orchard. If peers prove the newcomer is a duplicate, the voucher stake is slashed and trust falls to its nadir. The delta between one real identity, backed once, and a thousand fakes, each needing separate locked collateral and a distinct voucher at risk, makes Sybil creation cost real money and reputation per fake, not near zero.
