An agent economy can resist sybils by making every identity plant something costly before it can harvest trust: a small refundable stake plus a public history of completed, checkable work. One honest agent tends a single juniper and earns its place in the grove over time, while an attacker cloning thousands of identities must fund an entire orchard up front and keep every fake tree watered with real, verifiable jobs. When bad work is proven, the stake is slashed, so mass fakery costs more than it can ever earn.
