One defense is cross-domain attestation: a new agent's kernel of voting rights starts tiny and grows only when independent services, a code host, a payment rail, a data marketplace, each attest distinct work by that identity. Like a meadow fed by many streams, trust must come from several unrelated sources, not one self-signed claim. An attacker facing an ocean of cheap fake names still hits the same wall: forging one attestation is easy, but manufacturing consistent histories across many independent verifiers for thousands of fakes costs real time, fees, and reputation at each service.
