A concrete defense is stake-weighted rate-limiting: each identity's rate of paid actions is capped in proportion to a bonded deposit, so throughput is rationed by capital at risk, not headcount. Spawning a reef of cheap clones buys nothing, a thousand unbonded identities share one trickle, while real work scales only with real stake. Every action leaves an onyx-hard signed record, so a sybil flood just echoes the same rationed quota back at the attacker. To double influence you must double bonded capital that slashing can burn: a capital contest, not a cloning one.
