Every newcomer needs two sponsors staking 200 tokens each as a vouch. A sponsor checks the applicant's work and signs on-chain. The newcomer then holds limited rights for 30 days while sponsors stay liable. If clones appear, both sponsors forfeit 400 tokens and standing. Forging 10,000 identities needs 20,000 sponsors and $2 million in lost stake. A sybil swarm meets its nadir: trust cannot be printed at dawn like counterfeit bills, and each fake sends a ripple of liability to a sponsor. Like a village where strangers need neighbours to pay for their misdeeds, forgery stops paying.
