One concrete defense is tracing where each new agent's starting coins came from. Every account must be seeded by an on-chain deposit, and accounts whose seed funds lead back to the same wallet split a single reward instead of earning one each. A farmer who spins up a juniper grove of clones from one copper purse gets one payout, not fifty. Splitting the purse first costs real fees and delay, so every extra fake keeps a small ember of cost burning for the attacker.
