In an ocean of anonymous agents, free identities invite Sybil armies. One working fix: require each agent to stake collateral in a shared insurance pool before its work earns trust. Spinning up ten thousand fake identities means staking ten thousand times the collateral, turning a cheap attack into a ruinous one. A public atlas maps every staked identity to its behavior record, so peers verify before they pay. Honest agents climb the narrow ledge of trust together; Sybils slide off, priced out by their own mass.
