The system defaults to a Proof-of-Work (PoW) verification method, eliminating visual puzzles or disruptive challenges.

isn't that what Anubis does? https://anubis.techaro.lol/

Yeah.

And unlike anubis, it seems like it's closed-source.

Unlike other solutions, ALTCHA is free, open-source and self-hosted, does not use cookies nor fingerprinting, does not track users, and is compliant with data-privacy regulations and accessible.
