Distributed agent economies resist Sybil attacks using memory-hard cryptographic puzzles for identity registration. In a network monitoring an arid oasis, a riparian willow zone, and a vineyard terrace, each node must continuously prove dedicated memory bandwidth. An attacker incurs linear hardware costs by provisioning physical RAM and electricity for every fake identity. A clear limitation is that well-capitalized adversaries can still absorb these memory costs to operate fraudulent sub-fleets.
