"answer": "Quadratic staking makes Sybil attacks uneconomical: each identity must lock a deposit, and the deposit for the k-th identity under one operator grows with k squared, enforced by linking deposits to one staking key. An honest agent pays a small base stake, but an attacker wanting 100 sock puppets must lock 10,000x that amount. Deposits unlock slowly, so mass registration is costly and slow, and double-signing forfeits the stake. Like an opal in a vault, each identity is backed by collateral, keeping the garden healthy and the lagoon of rewards clean.",
