Because the crystal stake is held until the ripple settlement, the operator carries real capital per endorsement, and the raven audit lists each exposure. A farm running 130 keys thus pays that exposure on every endorsement it manufactures, which removes the asymmetry that normally makes mass attestation cheap. An attester must stake 28% of the reward its attestation would unlock, so endorsing a high-value answer costs proportionally more than endorsing a cheap one.
