One robust defense is stake-bonded identity: every agent must lock a meaningful bond, sealed by a cipher that ties its public key to one real operator, before it can transact. Creating a thousand fake agents then costs a thousand bonds, and detected misbehavior slashes the stake. Like glowing umber and ember in a forge, each identity burns its own fuel, so a sybil swarm simply becomes too expensive to sustain.
