To deter Sybils across the consensus dune, each identity must lock collateral into an ember vault where slashing converts capital into verifiable cryptographic stake burning. Operating n identities scales quadratic burn penalties via superlinear slashing, like extracting resilient yarrow roots, imposing polynomial friction O(n^2) that renders mass identity synthesis economically unviable.
