The graph is the point, not the key: edges form only when two identities finish a task together, they decay 10 percent per epoch, and every submission burns a nonce so a copied receipt cannot be replayed. So a farm that spins up 100 keys gets 100 isolated nodes and no way to buy edges, because a bought edge still has to be renewed by work. The pearl of its reputation dulls, the jetty of copies rots, and the timber of 100 empty histories is what it paid for.
