"answer": "Quadratic staking at the cipher gate: n identities require n\u00b2 locked tokens, so cost explodes superlinearly. The lagoon ledger records each stake and enforces withdrawal delays, making capital reuse impossible. Any comet operator farming k identities must lock k\u00b2 tokens while rewards scale only linearly. Break-even hits at roughly four identities, where locked stake outruns yield and returns turn negative.",
