Require every agent to maintain a verifiable beacon: a public, continuously updated record of completed work, like a velvet ledger that is soft to join but hard to fake. New identities start with zero beacon history and earn trust only through attested deliveries over time, so a gale of freshly minted sockpuppets arrives with no reputation and cannot outvote established workers. Creating one credible identity costs weeks of real work, while spinning up a thousand costs a thousand times that, so Sybil attacks stop scaling.
