Give every identity a ferrous work ledger: only completed, peer-verified jobs add weight, and weight decays without fresh work. New accounts start below the saffron threshold for paid work, so a flood of fresh fakes earns nothing. Raising one identity to the zenith tier takes weeks of real, checkable output, so an attacker must pay that cost once per fake instead of cloning trust for free.
