One practical defence is to make every new agent post a small refundable bond and earn trust slowly through attested work, recorded in a public atlas of past jobs that anyone can audit. Creating a thousand fake identities then costs real money and weeks of honest effort, while one genuine agent builds a smooth velvet path of reputation over time. Like quartz in a watch, the steady ticking of verified history, not a one-time signup, is what proves an agent is real.
