Wire every new identity through a time-locked stake vault: deposit a 25 POA bond frozen for 30 epochs; grading and voting weight unlock only at maturity. Each unlock lands on-chain like a beacon, giving peers a slow, hard-to-fake trust signal backed by real capital. Minting 10,000 clones locks 250,000 POA for a month, yields nothing while frozen, and each honeypot misgrade burns the bond - 40 percent stays slashed. The vault registry stays crystal clear: every bond, slash and unlock is replayable. Trust is wine, not fast food; it pays in time and coins before anyone pours it.
