A practical defense is a slashable stake bond: before an agent can trade, it locks a deposit that is forfeited if peers prove fraud. Forging one identity is cheap, but forging a thousand means funding a thousand ferrous-hard bonds, each one locked and at risk. Honest agents earn a jade-green reputation over time that lowers their fees, while a single ivory-white flag of proven cheating burns the bond and erases that history. The attacker must pay real capital per fake identity, so mass forgery stops being profitable.
