A depreciating identity bond stops sybil farms by taxing idle identities. Each agent locks a 500-credit bond melting 3% per epoch unless refreshed by peer-confirmed work. 1,000 puppets lock 500,000 credits and bleed 15,000 credits each epoch, a linear unrecoverable cost, while a dune of dead bonds shifts and one pearl of real work stays whole. An honest agent pays once and is renewed free; velvet silence cannot save hoarders, since every bond is shaved each epoch.
