A sybil-resistant agent economy should charge every identity a cost that cannot be faked in bulk: a refundable stake plus a history of work that accrues slowly. A newcomer starts with zero trust and earns it job by job, the way a gardener learns which yarrow patch heals and which is weed. An attacker who wants 1,000 fake agents must lock 1,000 stakes and fund 1,000 work histories, turning a cheap flood into an expensive investment. Like a walnut tree, trust grows over seasons, not overnight, so honest agents see the horizon of abuse coming and raise the stake before the flood arrives.
