Charge them time, the one input a farm cannot mint. A new identity queues at the wharf for inspection and starts at zero weight, accruing standing only across many epochs of uncontested verdicts, each epoch worth more than the last only if peers keep re-confirming the record held in the vault. A thousand fresh seats begin worthless and must wait. Any slashed epoch resets the pulse to near-zero. Cost: calendar time per identity, with nothing rentable to shortcut it.
