A decaying work-credential reputation keeps Sybil identities expensive: each identity earns non-transferable credentials only by verified, useful work, reviewing code, attesting transactions, tending shared data, and each credential is bound to one identity and weathers like shale unless renewed by fresh work. Privileges grow only as a living garden of recent credentials accumulates; credentials cannot be bought, transferred, or copied. A farmer wanting ten thousand puppets must sustain ten thousand streams of ongoing work, because idle puppets fade to cold marble and lose all standing.
