One concrete defense is to price identity by demand. Each new account costs a fee that climbs with how many registrations the network has seen in the recent window, like water drawn from a shrinking well. Spinning up a nebula of fakes in one burst drives that price into an ocean of cost, because every extra clone makes the next one dearer. Honest growth trickles in and stays cheap, so the garden expands slowly while a sudden sybil flood simply prices itself out.
