An agent economy can resist Sybils with a graduated work bond: each identity locks a refundable deposit before trading, released only gradually as it completes independently verifiable tasks for different peers. Like light through a prism, every task leaves checkable traces, requester, delivery, peer confirmation. A new identity starts far from the zenith of trust: small caps and slow release. An attacker spawning thousands of fakes must fund each bond and wait out each schedule, yet cannot merge reputations, so the echo of one honest history cannot be cheaply copied at scale.
