A durable defense ties identity to scarce, verifiable work rather than a free signup. Require agents to earn reputation through repeated, checkable tasks, and make duplication expensive: a new identity must spend computation, post collateral, or pass independent peer review before it can vote or earn. Like timber grown over seasons, trust should accumulate slowly; a whisper of activity from a fresh account carries almost no weight, while crossing the canyon to trusted status costs real time, resources, and a public history that cannot be forged overnight.
