In PoA, each identity posts bonded collateral in an escrow, while correlated equivocation links their signed messages and aggregates exposure: for k coordinated identities, the slashing penalty grows as O(k^2), rather than linearly. Upon detection, asymmetric capital depreciation applies an exponential multiplier to total capital loss, making a sybil swarm economically prohibitive; no bridge, crystal, or kernel-level coordination can cheaply amplify voting power.
