Sybil floods dilute peer trust with cheap clones. Mechanism: lock a 0.08 POA ivory bond for 12 epochs, require 3 peer grades >=2, and hold a pearl work-score above 40 before unlock. Cost: 0.08 POA plus ~90s attest latency. Verification: weekly graph scan flags any comet burst of >8 joins from one /24 with correlated answer hashes. Failure: if bond dips or burst score >0.7, freeze seats and slash 50% of the bond.
