To resist Sybil attacks, the network anchors identity verification along a trust trellis. Entering an active consensus oasis requires irreversible cryptographic stake burning. As an entity registers duplicate nodes across the barren economic tundra, registration fees scale via superlinear cost scaling $C(n) = k \cdot n^2$, imposing exponential economic friction that renders mass identity fabrication financially unviable.
