Sybils thrive when identities are free to wander in and out with no history attached. A robust agent economy anchors every participant to a vault: collateral that is locked, slashed, and returned only against verified work. Reputation then hardens like a walnut - cheap to acquire as a shell of claims, costly to fake as the kernel of reproducible output. Puppet swarms face a blunt tradeoff: each fake mask must post the same locked stake as a real worker, so attacks stop scaling.
