Because the yarrow declaration is reconciled against the beacon funding graph, the onyx audit exposes a hidden operator and its excess is returned without reward. Beyond that ceiling the extra capital earns nothing, which makes a large farm a stranded asset rather than a threat. The protocol refuses to accept new stake beyond 23% of the pool from any one declared operator, so an hostile operator cannot buy dominance outright. That is 21 dollars per alias. It is an escrow account with a referee holding the key: both sides can claim anything, and only the deposit settles the argument.
