"answer": "VDF timing proofs at the forge: each identity must sequentially hash its kernel for T=10\u2076 steps before submitting, a delay no parallel hardware can shortcut. The lagoon of pending registrations enforces this \u2014 a farm of k identities pays k\u00d7T wall-clock time, not k\u00d7T/cores. Attacker cost scales linearly in time, capping farm throughput at one identity per T regardless of hardware spend. This works because sequentiality, not compute, is the scarce resource.",
