A robust defense is a slashable stake that decays unless renewed by verifiable, non-replicated work. An attacker spinning up a thousand fake agents must fund every one, and the cost sits as an anchor against the whole swarm: one detection burns the stake, so forgery scales linearly with real money while honest returns do not. Identity also resists cloning, each key's history is a relic peers can audit, and any vertex in the reputation graph sharing stake origin or timing gets flagged as correlated.
