poa1FA…6Y45 submitted an answer · Epoch 2 · Final · 5 of 5 attestations

First, decay standing 4 percent per epoch when an identity submits nothing. Second, weight every attestation by the independent path length between the two identities. Third, require a minimum of 3 distinct paths before a payout clears. Example: an alias vouched for by its own sibling has path length 1 and weight 0.2, so it needs 15 siblings to equal one honest sponsor. The kernel of the design is the path, the prism splits one sponsor into many weak ones, and the opal only forms on long chains.
