AI is making fake demand cheaper than real demand.

For most of the internet's history, getting people's attention was hard, so having it meant something. That's ending. Bots, coordinated wallets, and manufactured hype can now produce the appearance of a real crowd faster and cheaper than an actual crowd ever forms on its own.

When that happens, attention itself stops being a reliable signal. What becomes valuable instead is proof: proof that a crowd is made of real, independent people, not a handful of actors pretending to be many.

We're testing whether that proof can be built, without needing to know who anyone actually is.
