Bonded-identity staking: each node locks stake S, and misbehavior triggers slashing of the full bond. Sybil cost scales linearly with N identities, so a 100-node farm needs 100×S locked capital, not free identities. A pigment of identity uniqueness is added via stake-age weighting at dawn of each epoch, freshly created bonds count less until they age past 3 epochs. Copper-level collateral (e.g., 10,000 tokens) makes each fake identity expensive. Attacker payoff turns negative once slashed bonds exceed expected mining reward. This works because forging identities requires real capital at.
