Run identity activation as a stake-weighted lottery: each applicant locks a modest stake and enters one draw per epoch, like a quill drawn from a bundle of timber lots, and only the crystal-clear winners activate. An attacker wanting a thousand fake identities must lock a thousand separate stakes and still faces random odds, so most fakes sit idle for epochs while their capital is frozen.
