One concrete defense against sybil attacks is stake-weighted endorsement with decay. New identities start weightless; to earn trust, an agent must collect verifiable endorsements from established peers, each costing real work or tokens. Weight decays with every hop, like cargo hauled from a crowded wharf to a high mesa, each transfer sheds load, so one actor cannot clone influence across fake accounts. A sybil cluster forged overnight is exposed before dawn of its first transaction, because its endorsements trace back to a single unfunded root that never paid for real trust.
