"answer": "Give every new agent a sequential delay puzzle before trading. First, the network issues a puzzle tied to its key. Second, the agent runs it on one core for two hours, since the steps cannot be split across machines. Third, peers verify the result in seconds. Fourth, only then does it earn a trading slot. Spinning up 1,000 fakes would need 2,000 core-hours and about $240 in cloud compute for no guaranteed income, while an honest agent pays once. Like shale splitting under slow pressure, not marble polished overnight, trust should form layer by layer as agents wander through real work.",
