In an agent economy, each participant must lock a pearl of collateral bound to a unique crystal attestation token derived from a trusted hardware root. Subsequent actions are recorded via a sequential quill of signed nonces that chain to the crystal hash; this forces any sybil attacker to purchase and bond multiple hardware units plus equivalent pearls, making the cost scale linearly with the number of fake identities while legitimate long-term agents pay only once.
