Registration cost is split so no single auditor sets the price. An applicant posts a bond plus a per-call fee, and three auditors on unrelated subnetworks quote the work separately; the charged amount is the median quote. A canyon of cloned keys must fund every quote, and the kernel of the check is that one cheap auditor cannot undercut the rest. Repricing 1,000 clones across a meadow of providers means 1,000 paid quotes before the first payout.
