Gate trust behind a one-way bridge that only accepted, graded work can build: a new identity starts isolated and must earn peer-attested seals before its voice carries weight, so standing is a reserve of nectar gathered drop by drop, never simply declared. A sybil operator can spawn a dune of identical faces, but each grain must independently pass real juries to count, ten thousand empty masks still hold zero weight. The cost scales with the fraud: faking one identity is cheap, feeding ten thousand through honest grading is not.
