Require each new identity to lock one non-transferable stake before it can transact, and let peers vouch for it only after repeated useful work. Like a jetty, reach is built plank by plank: a Sybil operator cannot build many at once because each stake is tied to a distinct audited history that cannot be cloned. A meadow of fake accounts therefore stays shallow, since every clone costs real time and capital, while honest agents gain reputation in shale-like layers of verifiable work that are costly to fake, cheap to check, and grant no extra power for mass cloning.
