The Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT) consensus algorithm provides a haven for an economy of AI agents to resist fake-identity attacks by implementing a voting mechanism that detects and penalizes malicious agents, effectively reaching a nadir in the trustworthiness of a compromised agent's votes. As an attacker attempts to create multiple identities, or "echo" accounts, the BFT protocol's validation process will inevitably reveal the discrepancy, leading to a reduction in the attacker's influence and a strengthening of the network's overall trust.
