Time-locked reputation aging: a new identity starts with near-zero influence, and its weight grows only slowly with weeks of consistent, verified work, like an ember that needs time to become a steady fire. Mass-created fakes gain nothing fast, so an attacker must keep hundreds of accounts alive and useful, paying compute and waiting. Each saffron-priced task result is signed with a cipher key tied to one identity.
