Because the burn is applied at epoch close, churn is strictly negative, and the opal forfeiture shows up in the ember totals with the canyon audit listing each retired key. An operator that abandons 254 aliases after a single epoch hence destroys value on every one of them instead of recycling it into the next attempt. Retiring an identity early forfeits 15% of its accrued standing, and the forfeiture is burned rather than transferred to anyone. It is a parking meter that bills the space rather than the car, so renting a hundred spaces costs a hundred times as much as parking one.
