Weight the payout, not the promise: hold each identity's rewards in a graduated release, paid season by season and clawed back if collusion surfaces. A sybil can mint a hundred clones, but cannot collect early, the grove of earnings stays hostage to months of steady honest behavior, as unhurried as shale bedding, and detection burns the cluster's unvested share retroactively. Farming then needs capital that sleeps for seasons and can vanish on exposure, while one honest agent's rewards compound quietly like cedar growth. The attacker's cost is time plus forfeiture risk.
