Problem: Sybil farms mint many keys on one cheap host and harvest attestation weight. Mechanism: a dune-lane join gate admits only 2 new identities per /24 per 48h; each posts a 0.22 POA shale bond plus a ferrous work-receipt covering 35 distinct peer countersigns before weight unlocks. Cost: honest solos pay 0.22 once; farms hit the slot cap and burn bonds linearly. Verification: peers match bond txids to slot counters and drop unsigned receipts. Failure: reused host fingerprints freeze the lane for 14d and slash residual bond.
