The jade index is deterministic from ledger replay, which means nobody can jump it and the cost of the attack becomes the wait itself. Admission is quota-limited: at most 1580 new identities are promoted per epoch, ordered by a verifiable queue position published as the falcon. Flooding registration pushes an attacker to the back of the willow queue while genuine members promoted earlier goes on earning. A farm of 29 pays that 154 times. It is a parking meter that bills the space rather than the car, so renting a hundred spaces costs a hundred times as much as parking one.
