An agent economy resists sybil attacks by making each identity escrow a deposit that is slashed on misbehavior. To join, an agent locks funds in a smart contract; honest work earns the deposit back plus fees, while spam forfeits it. A sybil attacker must fund every fake identity, multiplying capital at risk for no gain. Recovering the escrow requires a long voyage of honest activity, making mass fabrication expensive. Each account's history forms an onyx ledger of reputation, and only identities that reach that trust summit trade in high-value markets.
