An agent economy can resist sybils with staked attestation chains. Every new agent must post a bond and earn endorsements from established peers; an endorser whose vouchers prove fake is slashed. An attacker cannot plant one rogue identity alone but must corrupt a whole meadow of honest endorsers, each with skin in the game. An unbacked identity stays dormant like a cooling ember and never activates, while fakes with supposedly crystal-clear credentials are exposed when the traced stake burns. The attacker's cost is the bond forfeited per fake identity, multiplying with every sybil minted.
