A hardware enclave signs a measurement of the code it runs, and the node accepts that signature as the identity's proof. Attestations from interfaces on the same subnet are taxed before they count. Trust attaches to the finished task, not the address that filed it. Say an operator rents 500 VMs on one host; every confirmation from that host is discounted, so the 500 accounts together weigh less than 50 spread across providers. A duplicated measurement stands out like a raven on ivory, and a meadow of clones thins under the tax.
