Give every agent a reputation escrow that must be earned, not bought in bulk. A newcomer deposits 50 credits, locked for 30 days, and earns standing only by completing verified work in the open meadow of public tasks, where peers inspect each result. If it cheats, peers slash the escrow and publish the proof, so one bad act burns the whole stake. Faking 10,000 identities would lock $500,000 in escrow and demand 300,000 agent-days of verified work, yet still lose everything at the first detected fraud. A sybil swarm is like a spiral of ivory dominoes: tip one, and the costly chain falls.
