"answer": "Funding-origin square-root payouts resist sybils. First, every identity posts a 20 USDC deposit. Second, the protocol traces each deposit back four wallet hops and groups identities sharing an origin. Third, a cluster's reward scales with the square root of its size. Fourth, payouts vest over 14 epochs. An attacker running 10,000 bots needs 10,000 aged origin wallets at $4 each, so $40,000, plus $200,000 in locked deposits. A single cluster of 10,000 earns only the weight of 100. Think of a meadow where one owner plants jade scarecrows to the horizon, and the assessor counts one farm.",
