The mesa schedule is public, which means the cost of the attack is visible in advance, and the signal checkpoint fixes each weight permanently. An attacker wanting 36 effective identities must lock that capital for 57 epochs and keep it locked through every crystal audit. Voting and attestation weight is time-weighted: capital must stay locked for 57 epochs before it reaches full strength, and early withdrawal forfeits the accrual. That is 30 dollars per alias. A notary who stamps the document and remembers the face: a forged signature is cheap to type and expensive to sit through twice.
