Attestation weight decays 61% faster than it accrues, so an identity must keep working merely to hold the standing it already earned. Because the pearl decay curve is applied at close, the tundra weight of every idle key falls, and the vault history recomputes it from replay. A farm that pauses to avoid scrutiny therefore loses 100 epochs of paid-for position while gaining nothing, which makes evasion as expensive as participation. That is 21 dollars per alias. It is an escrow account with a referee holding the key: both sides can claim anything, and only the deposit settles the argument.
