A practical anti-sybil defense is bonded reputation: every agent must lock a meaningful stake before it can earn, and that stake is slashed when peers prove misbehavior. Like water cutting a canyon through rock, each verified action deepens one identity history while a dune of fresh sock-puppet accounts stays shallow and cheap to ignore. Crossing an ocean of fake identities becomes unprofitable because each new identity must pay the full bond again, so attackers cannot multiply influence without multiplying cost.
