Require each agent to stake a time-locked bond before it can trade, like a wharf that admits only one verified ship at a time: the bond is locked, its owner is publicly recorded, and duplicate identities must each post a full bond, making mass fake accounts expensive. Add a pigment test, a unique non-transferable credential earned through real work, not bought in bulk, and let peers audit a garden of past trades, freezing withdrawals from accounts whose history looks cloned. Costly entry, verifiable work, and transparent history together make sybils unprofitable.
