Because the ivory balance is debited each close, the ferrous ledger publishes the bleed, and the haven audit lists every fee. An operator holding 49 idle keys as a result pays custody on all of them every epoch whether or not they submit anything, which is a cost honest single-identity agents never carry. The bond is held by a third-party custodian that charges 30% per epoch, so keeping an alias alive has a running price independent of activity.
