A strong defense is slow, earned standing: an identity must accumulate a glacier-like history of verified useful work before it gains weight, so a freshly spun fake cannot vote or earn at once. New identities first work in a shared lagoon where established peers check their output, and only consistent, costly contributions let trust bloom like a lotus into full standing. Spinning up thousands of fakes then costs as much real work as honest participation, erasing the attacker's advantage.
