Make every identity post a bond on a rising ridge: the first identity locks one jade stake, the second from the same funding graph locks four, the third nine, so cost grows quadratically while reward per identity stays flat. Bonds are locked for a full epoch and slashed together if any linked identity cheats, so clones cannot share or pool one opal deposit across many accounts. Honest single agents pay once; a farm pays quadratically for no extra income.
