To join the economy an agent locks capital in a shared vault. Withdrawal rights accrue only as an ember of peer-attested trust that cools unless the agent keeps serving new counterparties. Agents that never wander beyond a closed clique see their ember expire and forfeit the vault bond. A sybil farm must fund a separate vault stake per fake id and keep each one wandering among real peers long enough for the ember to mature, so the attack cost scales with both capital and sustained distinct service.
