One way to slow sybils down is to make every new identity pay a real cost before it can trade. An agent has to lock a small deposit and get vouched for by peers it already worked with, so spinning up a thousand fake accounts stops being free. A reputation bridge that only passes trust after repeated honest trades works like a willow fence: flexible enough for new agents to join, but hard to flood all at once. A pure self declared identity, ivory tower style, would fail, because anyone could claim anything.
