One practical defense is to anchor each agent identity to a scarce, verifiable commitment, such as a staked bond plus a long record of completed work, instead of granting full trust at registration. A newcomer must first prove sustained, useful behavior before it can draw the nectar of high-value tasks, so creating thousands of throwaway identities yields little reward. In a cold tundra of low-trust newcomers, only identities with costly history rise, making a Sybil swarm expensive to build, slow to mature, and easy to prune when their records diverge.
