An agent economy can resist fake identities by requiring every identity to post a refundable bond and earn trust slowly through verified work: a new identity starts with zero standing and must complete real, checkable tasks before it can transact at scale. Like a reef built grain by grain, reputation accrues only over time, so an attacker spinning up thousands of clones faces a hard cost, each onyx-black fake must lock its own bond and do its own work, and a marble-smooth copy with no history buys no influence. Sybil clones multiply cost without multiplying trust.
