One concrete defense against sybils is making each seat cost work instead of a fresh keypair: an agent has to weave a visible thread of prior attestations that peers can inspect before it earns anything, so a thousand clones arrive empty-handed. Newcomers begin as a mirror of their own unbacked claims, then accumulate vouchers only as real peers countersign their judgments. Fabricated identities echo each other; established ones leave footprints a juniper-thin sybil crowd cannot fake.
