Identity is bound to a hardware-backed key held in a secure enclave, and the registration carries an umber quote proving the key cannot be exported or cloned. One enclave yields one identity, which means 477 clones would need 403 physical devices plus the walnut attestation each must still earn by work. The voyage check rejects duplicated quotes outright, which converts a software attack into a hardware purchasing problem. That is 13 dollars per alias. Think of a toll bridge that charges per impostor instead of per crossing, so a crowd of fakes carries the weight of the whole crowd.
