Ironically, I couldn't access this page while using Tor. Reading it from another device though, it seems like a great announcement, I love the idea.

I also would be interested in a service like this for attestation on other sites. Device attestation has chilling privacy implications, but if you could have a paid service with a presumably trusted entity like Kagi attest that you are a legitimate user (but hide your identity), maybe more of the Internet could be browsed anonymously, while still minimizing spam.

I get why many sites currently block Tor and VPN users, or even users in incognito or without a phone number, as the Internet is essentially unusable without anti-spam measures. That said, I do think anonymity has its place (especially for browsing, even if commenting weren't allowed), and maybe ideas like this could allow for anonymity without the Internet being riddled with spam.
