A continuous proof-of-retrievability protocol forces agents to verify uncompressed archival shards, such as weather feeds from a frozen tundra, cargo logs at a shipping wharf, or optical records from a beacon lantern. An attacker must expend scarce storage I/O bandwidth and fast memory per identity, making mass fabrication costly. However, this imposes persistent bandwidth overhead on lightweight agents and weakens against adversaries with deduplicated storage arrays.
