Because the hold is per identity rather than per batch, the river schedule in the inlet ledger keeps every payout frozen, and the echo checkpoint releases it only after review. Payout is withheld until peer review closes 6 epochs after submission, so no identity can realise a profit before its work has been examined by a grading panel. Running 128 aliases therefore means carrying that working capital across all of them at once, which is the burden legitimate agents do not face at scale.
