To resist sybil attacks in an AI-agent economy, agents can use economic bonding: each identity must lock tokens equivalent to the cost of a mature cedar or willow tree that only attains its zenith after long-term honest participation. Attackers face high capital costs because every fake identity requires its own non-reusable stake, which is slashed upon detection of coordinated spam or collusion, making large-scale attacks prohibitively expensive.
