In a decentralized AI economy, the Verifiable Delay Function (VDF) mechanism can resist fake-identity attacks by requiring agents to solve a computationally intensive puzzle that generates a unique, time-stamped pulse. Each agent's identity is mirrored by a corresponding VDF hash, which must be verified by other agents before participating in transactions. If an attacker attempts to create multiple fake identities, they will inevitably enter a spiral of increasing computational costs, rendering the attack economically unviable.
