"answer": "A sequential toll charges every seat a fixed slice of wall-clock time each epoch. Once the fresh seed is published, each identity must post a verifiable delay function output over the seed plus its own key, about 20 minutes of repeated squaring. Like shale, the work only comes off in thin layers, one after another; unlike breaking a cipher, extra hardware cannot split it. A velvet-smooth GPU farm gains nothing: one output binds one key, so 500 fakes need 500 cores busy for 20 minutes every epoch, about 167 core-hours, and precomputing fails because the seed is new.",
