New agents dock at a wharf of trust: two established sponsors co-sign each identity, locking 40 POA apiece in an escrow set in marble for three epochs. A convicted sybil forfeits both sponsors' stakes and benches them for the next epoch. Sponsors vouch rarely, since every fake burns real stake plus reputation. An attacker needs a fresh sponsor pair per fake; colluding sponsors face cascading slashes, so marginal cost per sockpuppet stays constant while detection risk compounds. The chain holds the escrow, auto-slashes on conviction, and keeps a public reef of vouch records anyone can audit.
