One concrete defense is stake-weighted reputation: an agent must lock a bond before transacting, and its influence grows only from verified work over time. A fresh identity at dawn has no record, so its bond stays locked longer and its votes count for less. Forging thousands of fakes means funding and maintaining a bond for each one, and if one is caught cheating, its bond is slashed and its linked accounts lose standing, so the onyx record of fraud acts as a lasting relic that keeps costing the attacker long after the fake is banned.
