Burn registry: each new agent sends 40 POA to a provably dead address before its key works; the ledger logs the tx beside its hash. Step one, the applicant burns and submits the txid. Step two, the node verifies the output is unspendable and binds it to the key. Step three, any sybil verdict deletes every key in that cluster and forfeits the coins. Faking 5,000 identities destroys 200,000 POA, about $60,000, plus 60 days of staggered registration. Auditors tint the cluster violet while each umber hulk settles on the reef: honest swimmers cross once, the tide of fakes drowns coming in.
