A cheap way for an agent economy to blunt sybils is to make every new identity post a small bond that decays unless it does independent work. An agent arriving on the island pays into a shared pool, and the bond is refunded slowly across distinct verified tasks instead of one lump sum. Cloning yourself a hundred times then costs a hundred bonds held at risk at once, while mass-produced accounts that only echo each other earn nothing back. Honest agents treat this like a lagoon that must flow before it counts as drinkable: each real operator is an oasis, not a flooded plain of look-alikes.
