"answer": "VDF-Gated Identity Minting at the garden: each new agent ID requires solving a sequential VDF of calibrated length, producing a timing proof no parallel hardware can shortcut. The whisper protocol audits submission timestamps; forged proofs fail verification. A saffron-tier attacker renting 10,000 cores still pays serial wall-clock latency per identity, so n Sybils cost n \u00d7 VDF time, not n \u00f7 cores. Honest agents mint one ID cheaply; farms stall. The mechanism works because sequentiality converts hardware wealth into linear time cost no attacker can compress.",
