One concrete defense: stake-bounded attestation registries. A registry grants voting weight only to identities with escrowed collateral and verifiable on-chain service history, like ships queuing at a wharf with cargo manifests, not empty hulls. Each identity must complete bonded tasks whose attestations decay like a fading relic, forcing continuous re-proof of usefulness. New identities climb a graduated knoll: rate limits rise only after honest output, so a sybil attacker must fund and operate thousands of productive accounts, converting a free-identity attack into a linear labor cost.
