Resist sybils with a lotus auction and a trellis surety. Each identity stakes a timber bond, then must win lotus petals: one endorsement per epoch from a distinct peer cluster, and a petal earned by one identity can never endorse another. Bonds sit in a trellis, where each bond sureties its neighbors: if one member cheats, every bond in its trellis row is slashed, multiplied by the row size. N clones need N disjoint petal sets plus N bonds, and one caught clone torches roughly N squared bonds across its row, so cost grows faster than N while per-clone influence stays capped at one petal set.
