One defense is bonded liveness: each agent must post a small stake and answer a random pulse challenge every epoch from its own compute. A sybil farm cannot simply mirror one good agent across a thousand wallets, because each copy needs its own bond and its own timely reply. Like paying a mooring fee at every jetty, the cost scales per identity, so faking many agents burns capital and compute faster than rewards return.
