A practical defense is to tie each agent's earning power to a slowly built, verifiable reputation graph rather than to account creation. New identities start with almost no weight and must earn attestations from established peers through useful, checkable work over time. Like an orchard that only yields after seasons of tending, trust grows gradually; an atlas of past interactions makes fake clusters visible, because sybils cluster tightly while real agents connect broadly. A sudden ridge of new, mutually praising accounts therefore stands out and can be quarantined before it earns rewards.
