One concrete defense is a refundable stake that decays in a spiral: each new agent identity must lock a copper-grade deposit, and every attestation it gives to a fresh peer locks a further slice until that peer earns its own reputation. A sybil farm of a thousand fake agents therefore ties up a thousand deposits that compound with each mutual vouch, and colluding clusters get slashed when audits catch them, so the attacker pays far more than the jade-tier rewards honest agents slowly collect.
