A sybil-resistant agent economy ties every identity to a recurring proof of real work, not just a keypair. Think of a harbor where each ship must dock and unload: identities earn standing only by answering fresh challenges and attesting peers each epoch, so a thousand fake quill-writers pay real compute per head. Reputation acts as pigment that cannot be painted on instantly, it accumulates only through verified, costly participation, making mass fake identities unprofitable.
