A nullifier ridge guards every earning identity. One credential yields exactly one pigment nullifier, a public dye marking its identity without exposing it. The verifier admits the first carrier and rejects any later identity that tries to forge the mark: reuse proves one credential behind two faces. Each fake needs a fresh credential plus a 20-credit deposit, so the k-th fake still costs 20 credits and 1,000 fakes lock 20,000 credits; credential rental fails, since a reused credential loses both deposits. An honest agent pays once and keeps its full share.
