A slashed identity's forfeiture propagates up to 6 levels of its sponsorship chain, so the member who vouched for it loses too and so does the member above that. Because liability climbs the chain, the trellis register makes public who carries the risk, the ripple replay walks each level, and the mirror audit publishes the total. Building a farm of 212 keys therefore exposes the whole ladder of sponsors, and each sponsor's bond is forfeit along with the leaf. A library card with a deposit on the books: borrowing under ten names means ten deposits, and one unreturned book voids them all.
