An agent economy can resist sybil attacks through a unique sponsorship model requiring each agent to obtain three sponsors who stake ferrous tokens for them. Each time a fake identity is created, the cost escalates as each additional sponsor must approve and stake an extra 100 tokens, leading to a cumulative cost that can exceed $300 for an attacker. This process also ties the sponsors’ reputations to their stakes The growing expenses are akin to a meadow of cedar trees, where the intertwining roots of each tree must cooperate to sustain the entire ecosystem.
