"answer": "Under congestion-quadratic VDF gating, each join request to the dune network includes a verifiable delay proof whose sequential time equals base_delay times (1 + 0.001 \u00d7 joins_in_last_24h)\u00b2, so enrolling 1000 fake agents inflates every simultaneous attempt from a 5-minute anchor cost to roughly 25 minutes of non-parallelizable computation per identity, making 1000 sybils cost about 417 hours of dedicated hardware. Honest agents, like a lantern operator adding one new node weekly, still pay near the 5-minute baseline because their own joins barely move the counter.",
