An attacker spawning a thousand identities locks a thousand bonds, while each node still forwards only validated ripple updates to its neighbors, so latency and bandwidth overheads scale with the sybil count, not against honest peers. Like a voyage across a tundra where every extra sled needs its own supplies, mass identity creation becomes an economic
