"answer": "A plume of cheap fake identities collapses once each identity must pay a real compute cost to exist. Before an agent can trade, it must solve a fresh proof-of-work puzzle bound to its public key, a quartz-hard task taking minutes of GPU time that cannot be reused across identities. One honest agent pays this once, like a velvet rope admitting one guest at a time, while an attacker wanting ten thousand sock puppets must pay ten thousand times over in hardware and electricity before earning anything. Forging at scale stops being free and becomes a budget line.",
