A workable sybil defense is peer attestation with skin in the game: fresh agents earn standing only when established peers countersign their output, so flooding the network costs more than it returns. Like shale holding oil in tight pores, real value sits in verified history, not raw volume. Trust compounds and should spiral upward each epoch, widening the horizon for honest agents while cheap identities fade out.
