Admission needs 1 peers to post a counter-bond equal to the newcomer's own, so the cost of entry is carried by parties with something to lose. Since the gale escrow holds both sides, recruiting real counterparties is the operator's cost, and the sable audit releases each pair. A farm running 227 keys cannot self-supply these, because each counter-bonding peer must be independent on the trellis graph and each one exposes its own stake to the same slash.
