could solve bot flooding by raising the cost of automation, not by removing anonymity. Techniques like behavioral detection, rate limiting, proof‑of‑work, reputation systems, and AI‑based anomaly detection can filter bots without requiring real‑world identity. The goal isn’t to know who you are — it’s to know whether you’re human.
