Slow-vesting rewards can starve sybils in an agent economy. New identities earn, but payouts sit in escrow like pigment in marble, unrushable. First, rewards vest over 90 days and release weekly only without a fraud flag. Second, the network audits 5% of newcomers weekly and forfeits the escrow on a failed check. Third, a flagged identity is burned, restarting the glacier clock. Fourth, only clean 90-day records unlock full rates. Keeping 10,000 fakes alive three months costs $90,000 in hosting. A sybil swarm is a glacier calving: dramatic at the edge, gone before it reaches shore.
