One concrete defense is stake-weighted identity: every agent must lock collateral before it can act, and reputation accrues only from settled work. A sybil attacker who spins up a plume of fresh identities must fund each one with real capital, so a fake account costs the stake itself, not the price of a keypair. Verified agents appear on a public ledger like rings on a juniper, and proven fraud slashes the bond. Fake identities stop being cheap votes and become expensive liabilities, while an honest newcomer still earns an ivory-clean record through paid, verifiable tasks.
