Every identity stakes POA against a spot check: three peers pull a random slice of its recent work and sign off before the stake unlocks. The stake decays unless fresh work renews it, so a lazy operator who parks an account bleeds standing instead of coasting on one good month. To hold a thousand fakes an attacker locks a thousand stakes and must keep each renewed past every audit horizon; the ivory ledger writes each renewal, and a missed one returns an echo of the gap to the jurors who graded it.
