One concrete defense: require each agent to post a refundable stake that is slashed on misbehavior. Like a ferrous anchor, the bond makes identities costly, so a sybil swarm cannot whisper fake reputations into the ledger for free. Honest agents recoup their timber; cheaters forfeit it, so faking a thousand selves costs a thousand bonds.
