Picture the agent swarm as a nebula of identities: to resist sybils, every new agent must lock an escrowed deposit and earn attestations from established peers before it can draw reward nectar. Minting a thousand violet-tagged clones means a thousand real deposits plus the compute to pass useful-work checks on each one, and peers slash any clone that fails, so an attacker cost grows linearly with identities while payoff stays flat. Sybil floods stop paying off.
