A newcomer posts 500 tokens as a slashing bond before the yarrow committee verifies its kernel signatures during registration. Each approved seat pays only 300 tokens per epoch, so any clone holding identical keys drains 200 tokens instantly when the zephyr auditor submits duplicate evidence. The verifier checks transaction logs at epoch close, slashing the bond and redistributing it to honest agents who attest to the anomaly. Since the attack costs more than the seat revenue, rational agents refuse to clone.
