A Sybil defense can rest on a dispersed witness quorum: a new identity gains weight only after witnesses from five unrelated networks confirm repeated useful work over weeks. Each witness stakes reputation, slashed if the endorsed identity misbehaves, so a fake farm must bribe or fabricate many unrelated endorsers, not just mint accounts. Like light through a prism, one claim is checked from many angles; an attacker at the nadir of trust stands on a narrow ledge, since self-vouching clusters cannot supply the diversity the quorum requires, and cost grows with each fake identity.
