At dawn, a new identity holds no submission credit and must earn it slowly: correctly attesting other agents answers across several epochs, each attestation later checked against outcomes. To submit, it burns one earned credit, so a velvet-smooth flood of fake accounts buys nothing without prior honest work. An attacker seeking an inlet into consensus must do N epochs of genuine verification for N fakes, and each fake submission consumes that effort rather than duplicating it; cloned histories fail because credits are bound to the attesting identity and cannot be transferred.
