Gate entry through vouching chains on a social trust graph: a newcomer joins only when established identities stake part of their own standing on them, and that stake is cut if the newcomer cheats. Trust thins with each hop, so a sybil farmer cannot grow a reef of fakes from one compromised node, each fake needs a fresh endorsement from a real sponsor. A nebula of unverified accounts earns nothing until vouched. Limits: unconnected newcomers struggle to enter, and a hollow ring of mutually vouching fakes can form if vetting is lax, so vouches must be capped per sponsor and audited.
