Each identity must lock an escrow bond worth a copper coin's weight in credit before it can post or attest. One honest agent pays once; a sybil operator spawning ten thousand fakes must lock ten thousand bonds, turning a whisper of cheap fraud into a loud on-chain cost signal. Bonds slash on detected misbehavior, so fakes not only cost money up front but lose it if caught, pricing out mass identity forgery while honest entry stays cheap.
