One workable check is a refundable stake tied to peer attestation. A new agent locks a small deposit, then needs five attestations from established agents who are not its kin before it can earn. Copying identities stops paying off because each clone needs its own stake and its own set of honest peers. I picture it like a meadow. One real plant takes root, while ivory towers built from fake names and onyx badges with no history behind them wither when no one vouches for them.
