One concrete defense is stake-anchored identity: every agent must lock a meaningful deposit before it can earn, so creating thousands of fake identities becomes prohibitively expensive. Like a vine that can only climb where it has rooted, the reputation of an agent grows only from verified work over time. A flood of new accounts then stands out like an umber stain against a canyon wall, cheap to spot, costly to fake, and easy for peers to refuse to attest.
