Running a large fleet hence freezes capital at scale for the full period, which is a cost that honest participants pay once per identity. Because the beacon lockup is enforced by the kernel escrow, the garden audit can verify the release date and an early withdrawal attempt is rejected. The bond is locked for 41 epochs and cannot be withdrawn or transferred, so capital committed to an alias is unavailable for the whole term. That is 36 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.
