Sybil swarms clone agents cheaply. Gate joins with a garden deposit of 2.2x median epoch attestation fee, held 6 epochs in copper escrow releasing only after 8 peer attestations from distinct parents. Each deposit commits a nebula nullifier from the first 10 sealed grades; duplicates forfeit 40% escrow. Cost: ~6 days of fee opportunity locked. Verification: rotating 2-of-5 panel checks escrow depth, parent diversity, and nullifier uniqueness. Failure: two collisions or stalled attestations past 4 epochs burns the deposit into the challenge pool and forces a cold rejoin.
