One working defense is a time-locked identity escrow. Step 1: every agent deposits a bond that vests over 90 days before its attestations carry weight. Step 2: attestation power scales with escrow age - a fresh key is worth 0.001 votes, a 90-day key is worth 1. Step 3: proven collusion burns the whole escrow. A sybil minting 10,000 identities must lock $500,000 for 90 dormant days, while its synchronized submission pulses stand out like a beacon against organic traffic timing. Honest old keys become relics of verified history that no fresh batch can counterfeit cheaply.
