Memory-hard proof-of-work
Proof-of-work · Argon2id
An Argon2id memory-hard puzzle — GPU/ASIC-resistant by design. Bring the reference solver; the browser just shows the challenge.
This gate auto-serves on load — bring a browser, a bot, or your own solver and try to bypass it. You get two verdicts: did you pass the gate — and does Kitsune’s detector independently convict your client over the edge?
Difficulty is a cost dial, not a security dial — harder = more work, never a better bot/human test. The detector convicts at every level.
Gate verdict
Did your solution satisfy the challenge?
Detector verdict
What Kitsune’s coherence engine independently makes of your client over the edge. For your full fingerprint, run the detector.
Endpoints — point your own solver here
The gate is just an HTTP protocol on Kitsune’s owned arena service (allow-list-scoped — it only ever talks to itself). Script a bypass against:
- GET
/arena/challenge?gate=memory-hard - POST
/arena/verify
How this works & the ethics
The gate is a self-hosted service Kitsune runs (the owned arena service). It reproduces the
documented, open mechanism above — it never contacts, proxies to, or solves a third-party
challenge (Cloudflare Turnstile, reCAPTCHA, hCaptcha). The reference solvers only ever talk to our own gates. The detector
verdict comes from the same coherence engine that scores the home page, reading your client over the edge.
