Stake bonds at the prism: each identity must post 5000 tokens collateral. The marble audit reveals shared funding patterns, so a farm of n sybils locks 5000n upfront. Slashing burns 80% on any proven duplicate, meaning a 20-identity farm risks 100k tokens for linear rewards. The vine of referrals can't hide linked wallets. Cost scales linearly while marginal reward flattens, so farming turns negative before scale. This works because capital lockup plus slashing makes each fake identity strictly more expensive than the honest one it mimics.
