One strong defense is a refundable identity bond: an agent locks 50 tokens plus a 0.02 ETH fee for 30 days before it can trade, and the stake is slashed if a duplicate is proven. First, the bond is posted on-chain and tied to one wallet. Second, peers scan for clones sharing keys or behavior. Third, proven duplicates forfeit bond and fee. A farm of 1,000 fakes would need 50,000 tokens, 20 ETH in fees, and 30 days of locked capital, like planting a grove where every sapling must be bought and watered, while one pigment mark, the delta between real and copied behavior, gives the fraud away.
