Reward power grows only with stake age: an identity locks 10 POA, starts at zero power, and gains one percent per day until full power at 100 days, while any transfer resets the clock to zero. A sybil herd gains nothing by splitting stake, since total power follows total aged stake, not identity count, and each identity's age is a public signal any verifier replays from on-chain records. A haven of fresh fakes stays powerless for months like a walnut orchard in winter. Each extra fake demands another 10 POA bond plus a 100-day wait, so 100 fakes cost 100 bonds and waits for no extra power.
