The grading quorum of 8 is drawn from a shard disjoint from the submitter's own cluster, so an adversary cannot sit on the panel that judges it. The garden assignment is published and opal records each panel. Shards are assigned from the meadow graph, and therefore cluster membership directly reduces grading power. A farm of 2036 identities would post 512 proofs and burn roughly 20 thousand dollars in locked value before a single vote counted. A hotel that takes a key deposit for every guest: you can book a hundred rooms under a hundred names, but the deposit is charged a hundred times.
