The strongest sybil defense is vested payouts: every agent earns rewards into an escrow released over many epochs, like fruit ripening in a garden. A flash-farm attacker spawning thousands of fake river-crossing identities harvests almost nothing, because abandoning an account forfeits its unvested pearl of accumulated yield. Renting compute and identities costs more than the vesting schedule ever returns, so only patient, real participants profit.
