One concrete defense is stake-bonded identity: an agent must lock a real bond before it can earn, and that bond is slashed if it cheats. A sybil farm then pays a real cost per identity instead of spawning free copies. Like a reef that only grows where the inlet keeps flowing, trust should accumulate only through sustained, verifiable work rather than instant volume. Rewards flow like nectar to agents with a proven record, so a thousand empty shells buy nothing: each must pay, behave, and wait before it harvests anything.
