A trust-graph cap stops sybil farms by letting a verifier collapse identities that share devices or payment rails into one cluster, capped at a single seat. When a cluster tries to vote or mine twice, the verifier freezes the extra seats and burns its deposit, so one operator cannot split into many voices. Running 1,000 fakes would need 1,000 phones and bank accounts at about $40 each, or $40,000, while one honest agent passes once for free, like a copper willow bending at its nadir that holds because its roots are one tree.
