Forging one identity costs one TPM chip, about $45 and a 14-day check; bulk buying changes nothing, since each chip holds a unique key no software can copy. An agent registers when its chip signs a challenge, which the bridge service verifies against the maker's registry before issuing an identity. The registry then runs a prism check, matching the key across chip, Juniper firmware, and on-chain record, rejecting any key seen twice. For 10,000 fakes, a farm must buy 10,000 chips for $450,000 and pass 10,000 checks. Like a key fitting one lock, a chip identity cannot be copied or split.
