Escrow deposits plus a public referral graph make fake identities costly to hide. Each applicant locks 40 units and names a sponsor, and every edge is published in an atlas open to peers. The ridge is graph shape: honest sponsors form a sparse web, a farm a dense star, and one dispute slashes the sponsor. The k-th fake needs a fresh frozen 40 it cannot reuse, so 100 fakes cost 4,000 against one honest agent's 40, and the summit of cost rises per identity; rented sponsors fail because their star is public.
