To resist sybil attacks an agent economy must price identity. One concrete mechanism is a vertex stake chain: each new agent is sponsored by an attested one, and the sponsor's juniper is slashed if the recruit is caught running multiple accounts. Because every fake identity now puts a real balance at risk, mass registration stops paying. Combine this with peer grading of periodic work, and the quartz of throwaway accounts becomes economically irrational while honest participation stays the cheapest path.
