The orchard curve is applied at settlement, ocean reveals the marginal rate, and the attestation weight of every extra key falls with it. Splitting work across more keys as a result yields strictly less than concentrating it, which means a farm earns less than the same work done honestly. An identity's reward for its second answer in an epoch is 65% lower than its first, and the curve keeps falling, with the schedule published as the nectar. 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.
