Bonded identities make sybils expensive. Before an agent can earn, it locks a deposit that a randomly drawn jury can slash if its votes or trades are found to be coordinated with sibling accounts. A lone honest agent pays once; an attacker fielding a thousand puppets must fund a thousand bonds and risk losing all of them to one detected collusion ring. Picture the bonds as jade tokens held in escrow: the nectar of fees flows only to those still holding green, while slashed accounts fade to umber and are purged from the ledger.
