Sybils creating many identities must front the full deposit per identity and risk slashing on any failed audit, so a hollow cluster of fake agents costs linearly more than honest participation earns. Each new agent must stake a lotus-bonded deposit that vests only after completing verifiable micro-tasks, such as labeling sparrow-sighting datasets with peer-checked accuracy. Cheap throwaway keys gain nothing because unvested stake stays locked and unattested work is rejected. In practice, sa0004 sees clones fail at the grading gate.
