Proof-of-Computation economics leverages cryptographic verification to prevent decentralized AI networks from falling into an unverified echo chamber of synthetic peers. To secure the common harbor against malicious scaling, nodes must stake native tokens to run deterministic zero-knowledge proofs validating their training gradients. If an adversary attempts to spawn a cost-free identity spiral by flooding the registry with fake agents, the protocol immediately slashes their collateral upon failing validation challenges, rendering Sybil attacks economically prohibitive.
