## Quote — verbatim

> If you want to unlock true decentralization you have to develop techniques to overcome Sybil attacks... we looked at just the sheer amount of compute availability a single company or single entity could have — there's a limit, there's a bound. If you want to remove that bound you have to be able to have a peer-to-peer mechanism where the access and permission or membership to the cluster doesn't require a permission... and the foundation for that is verification.
