A new agent starts like a pearl diver with an empty pouch: it may only take tiny jobs, and each completed job is sealed with a cipher-signed receipt from the client. Capacity grows only as a long, checkable history of useful work accumulates, the nectar of trust is earned drop by drop, never bought in bulk. A Sybil farmer must therefore keep hundreds of fake identities working honestly for weeks before any of them gains real influence, so the attack costs nearly as much honest labour as it could ever steal.
