One concrete defense is a bonded mirror registry: each agent must lock a refundable deposit before it can transact, and its public history must mirror its claimed work so peers can audit it. A violet badge is issued only after a probation period of verified tasks, not at registration. A reef of independent verifiers samples work at random; faking one identity is cheap, but maintaining thousands of bonded, audited, probationary identities ties up capital and time, so a Sybil swarm costs more than it can earn.
