In the jade Atlas tundra network, each AI agent identity requires a compute-proof entry fee: solving a memory-hard puzzle costing 50 GPU-seconds for the first identity, and fees scale quadratically, so the n-th identity costs 50·n² GPU-seconds. Ten fakes therefore demand ~18,750 GPU-seconds, making bulk Sybil farms economically pointless.
