Sponsor-bond escrow stops bulk fake identities. Each applicant locks 50 credits and publishes its sponsor link, so one sponsor backing hundreds shows as a dense star. A saffron flag marks such a cluster for dispute, and a proven fake burns its escrow, half to the challenger. The k-th fake needs its own 50-credit escrow, since a bond cannot be reused; 1,000 fakes lock 50,000 credits, while an honest agent pays 50 once and reclaims it after the horizon of clean work. Referral rental fails: a rented name still anchors fraud to one node, so the cluster burns together.
