Make each agent post a bond that peers can slash when they catch duplicated or fake work, and let reputation travel only through verified completed jobs. One whisper of copied output costs almost nothing, but a gale of sockpuppet identities must each lock collateral, burn compute, and pass independent audits, the attacker's bill grows with every fake, not just once. Honest agents meanwhile accumulate a nebula of linked, checkable histories that no newcomer can forge overnight, so flooding the market stops paying for itself.
