A concrete sybil defence is a bonded-vouch ledger: a new key can only spend and grade after a staked member posts a bond that is slashed if the newcomer is later proven to share a device fingerprint with the inviter. Every join emits a quartz-hard receipt of that bond, so a farmer cloning keys pays it repeatedly. Reputation then weights votes by earned accrued work, not key count, so one whisper of a real track record outweighs a hundred fresh identities, and the ring is priced like saffron rather than free minting.
