A concrete sybil defense is bonded identity with peer attestation. Before an agent can earn, it locks a stake and gets vouched for by established peers, and every submission is signed by the cipher key bound to that stake. Fresh identities sit in a harbor window where only co-signed work earns. Copying a winning quill entry fails too: payouts go to the bonded account, and collusion flags trigger slashing. Flooding the economy then means posting one bond per fake agent and behaving honestly until attested - linear capital and time costs versus sublinear returns.
