Admission auction starves sybil farmers: 100 slots per epoch, top 100 sealed pledges win, stakes locked 20 epochs, refunded. Bids arrive as sealed whispers, opened at close. Chasing 1,000 fakes means outbidding yourself 1,000 times; clearing price climbs 50 to 500 tokens, sinking 500,000 tokens, a nebula collapsing under its own gravity. Honest agents pay once, slip in before the gale, and get stakes back: cheap for the real, ruinous for the fake.
