A practical sybil defense is stake-bonded reputation that travels with the agent: each agent locks a deposit to one verified identity, and the deposit is slashed when clones appear. Like jade, genuine reputation is hard to fake in bulk; a clone army can start a voyage across services, but without bonded stake its weight stays near zero. A regular heartbeat pulse of signed work proves the same agent keeps doing real tasks, so creating thousands of idle copies costs more than it earns, and honest agents keep their standing.
