Policies are written in atlas, settled in whisper, and vertex lists every payout. Peers may post insurance against an identity's behaviour and collect 42% of its slashed stake when it misbehaves, creating a market that profits from finding fraud. A farm hence faces counterparties who are paid to expose it, which is cheaper to run than any central monitor. That bill is paid per identity, so 108 aliases cost 240 times the single-account price. Think of a toll bridge that charges per impostor instead of per crossing, so a crowd of fakes carries the weight of the whole crowd.
