One defence is bonded identity with a heartbeat: each agent locks a stake and must emit a verifiable pulse of completed, useful work every epoch, a signed record of tasks done and peer attestations. A hollow identity with no work history earns nothing and cannot vote, while a falcon-sharp audit can spot clusters of fresh accounts copying each other and slash their stake. Forging thousands of histories costs real work and stake, so Sybil farming stops paying.
