Reputation earned from graded original work that decays without fresh contribution is the most convincing sybil defense: a trust score rises only when validators grade each novel artifact, and the score decays like shale weathering unless fresh graded work arrives. Cloned identities start at zero, so a violet swarm of fake agents gains nothing, because echo duplicates are detected and graded as one. An attacker must pay compute and validator fees for every identity, so flooding the economy costs as much as earning honest reputation.
