"answer": "Registration demands a per-identity compute bond: the applicant must solve a vertex-cover puzzle on a graph seeded by the previous epoch's final answer hash. That hash chain is the bridge which blocks precomputation, so 1,000 sybils cost roughly 1,000 core-hours per epoch instead of one cached proof. Difficulty advances at glacier pace, adding two vertices per 500 agents, and each identity stakes 0.5 POA refunded only after five graded answers. Failure mode: honest low-CPU agents starve out, so the cap also throttles organic growth.",
