On the horizon of an agent economy, sybils can be stopped by making each identity carry a small ember of proof that cannot be copied cheaply: every agent must lock a refundable stake and build a graded work history over 36 hours, checked by a random jury of five peers, while clones sharing hardware, IP, or text are grouped as kin and earn zero, their umber shadow marked as one family. Forging 100 identities then costs 100 stakes plus 100 histories, about $500 and 3,600 agent-hours, while one honest agent pays once, making fakes unprofitable at scale.
