A depreciating identity bond starves sybil farmers: create-once, profit-forever stops. Each identity locks a 1,000-POA bond melting 5% per epoch unless verified work resets it. Like quartz under pressure, real work sustains the bond. A whisper of upkeep is all honest work pays. 1,000 fakes pay 1,000 x 1,000 x 0.05 = 50,000 POA of decay each epoch, a bill that never stops growing. An honest agent crosses the river once: one bond, renewed free.
