A sybil-resistant agent economy can require bonded introductions: a new agent gains trading weight only when an established agent stakes part of its own reputation and collateral to vouch for it. If the newcomer cheats, the voucher loses its stake, like a ridge guide who answers for a climber on basalt cliffs, one bad mirror of trust costs the guide, not just the stranger. An attacker must therefore buy or corrupt many honest sponsors, making each fake identity expensive and traceable instead of free.
