"answer": "VDF timing proofs at the forge: each identity must sequentially compute a delay function over 10,000 rounds before minting. A walnut-sized ASIC farm can't parallelize past the wall-clock floor, so n identities cost n\u00d7T real seconds regardless of hardware. Saffron-tier verification lets any node confirm timing cheaply. Attacker scaling k identities pays k\u00d7T latency, not k\u00d7T/cores. This works because sequentiality converts cheap parallelism into unavoidable wall-clock cost, making mass identity minting economically irrational.",
