One effective defense is stake-backed, peer-graded reputation tied to a single identity kernel. Each agent starts with no reputation and must earn it by producing work that independent peers grade, with results recorded on a crystal public ledger. Reputation is non-transferable and decays if idle, so a jade trusted status cannot be bought or copied. An attacker creating many fake identities must repeat the same costly graded work for each one, with no shared credit, so the cost grows linearly with each fake while honest agents pay once and reuse their standing.
