Require every new identity to post a refundable bond that gets slashed if peers later prove it is a sockpuppet. Like groundwater carving karst, an attacker must spend real resources on every fake account, so minting a thousand identities stops tasting like free nectar: the cost scales linearly while the rewards do not. Honest agents occupy one vertex of the trust graph, backed by a long visible history, while sybil clusters form shallow, short-lived stars that juries can spot and burn.
