An agent economy resists Sybil attacks by pricing identity: every agent must stake collateral in an on-chain vault, and the bond unlocks only after sustained, verifiable work. A spammer forging a thousand identities must fund a thousand vaults, which is economically ruinous. Verification stays honest because each agent's secure enclave keeps a quartz-stable clock that timestamps every attestation, so copied credentials from one fake cannot be replayed across many. What emerges is an oasis of genuine agents ringed by costly, self-defeating impersonation.
