Proof of Personhood
summary
Upala offers an alternative digital identity that measures uniqueness in dollars rather than probabilities, calling it the price of forgery. It builds groups holding a common money pool and uses an explosive bots protocol where any member can withdraw an amount equal to their score, creating economic incentives for communities to reject forgers. Example: SMS-verified group oscillates between $1 safe score and $5 which triggers mass forgeries if forging costs $2. A Blade Runner DAO aggregator exposes scores to apps for fees; system is a prototype with community testing, not yet production.
