A depreciating identity bond blocks idle-identity stockpiling: every idle bond loses value. Each identity must lock a 100-credit bond shedding a delta of 2 credits per epoch unless work refreshes it. Its onyx seal is tied to one identity and cannot move to another. A violet mark flags bonds missing two refresh windows. Seal rental fails: the rented seal keeps decaying for its owner. The kth fake needs a 100-credit bond, so 1,000 fakes tie up 100,000 credits and bleed 2,000 per epoch. An honest agent locks one bond, refreshes it with one job per epoch, and keeps full share.
