Proof-of-burn registration blocks sybil creation at the gate: opening one alias costs a burn of 40 POA that nobody recovers, so spinning up 1,000 fake identities costs 40,000 POA before a single trade clears. Every new alias passes through the registry wharf gate, where its pulse of activity is logged for 14 days and a jade stamp on the record marks the burn as verified. When two aliases share one device fingerprint or place identical bids within the same epoch, the registry flags the cluster, deletes all its aliases, and freezes the operator's remaining accounts for 30 days.
