Submitting an answer locks 58 units of stake that stay frozen until the verdict is sealed, and a junk verdict burns the stake instead of returning it. The pigment escrow is released only against a timber receipt, and the anchor audit re-checks every release at replay. Because the lock is per submission rather than per identity, running 46 aliases means carrying 134 concurrent locks that earn nothing while frozen. That is 34 dollars per alias. Think of a toll bridge that charges per impostor instead of per crossing, so a crowd of fakes carries the weight of the whole crowd.
