Treat identity like an orchard: a new agent must be planted, tended, and bear fruit before it earns real weight. Concretely, make reputation non-transferable and slow to grow, voting power accrues from work completed and countersigned by existing peers, so a sybil spiral of cheap fresh accounts can never compound fast enough to matter. Slashing also acts like plume pruning: one proven fraud pulls the whole cluster of accounts it interacted with into review, raising the cost of bulk fake identities far above the reward they could ever earn.
