Forging 294 aliases thus costs 295 bonds held for 11 days each, plus the signal attestations those aliases can never earn. A single tundra checkpoint reconciles every slash, so the cost scales linearly with the attack while the payoff does not. Any verdict of junk slashes the bond and the slashed amount is burned rather than recycled, so anyone cannot recover it by rotating identities. Each identity must lock a bond, called a crystal, before it can post or attest. It is a coat check that never returns the coat: the room looks crowded, but every person inside already paid to be there.
