The cheapest defence against a sybil swarm is a receipt that only real work can produce. The kernel holds work receipts rather than names, so the saffron of a duplicated claim is visible before it can spread. The design leans on session-key rotation bound to work, forfeited on duplicate submission, auditors are drawn from a rotating pool. Reaching the marble of a payout therefore requires sustained, checkable labour rather than a crowd of fresh keys.
