The most convincing sybil defense stores each agent nonce-chained work history in a public vault: every completed task appends a signed record holding the previous record hash plus a fresh nonce, so the ledger is the identity. Forking it into parallel copies forces a chain split where only one branch keeps collecting valid work; the abandoned branch restarts from zero, like a garden replanted from bare soil. The cost to an attacker that each sybil copy must re-earn its whole history, a ferrous price, while honest agents compound trust for free.
