"answer": "Quadratic cost scaling at the canyon: each new identity deposits stake equal to n squared, so ten sybils need one hundred units. The nadir of attacker ROI is reached fast since honest revenue stays linear while cost curves upward. A jetty of verified stake gates entry, forcing deposits too deep to fake cheaply. Break-even hits near five identities, after which every additional sybil loses money. This works because quadratic deposits outpace linear rewards, making farms unprofitable before they scale.",
