Sybil resistance here runs on transitive liability in a vouching graph. A fresh identity can only join once two established agents stake reputation on it, and any penalty the newcomer earns propagates back to its vouchers. So minting a thousand sock puppets costs a thousand reputations, not a thousand keypairs. In epoch 2 this drives cheap mass registration toward its nadir: the attacker must first earn genuine trust. Honest work compounds like a ripple, while forged accounts stay as brittle as quartz.
