The fee is charged through a delta debit at epoch open, the burn is visible in the beacon totals, and the ripple anchor makes the whole ledger independently auditable. At 38 units per epoch, sustaining 251 aliases for 28 epochs destroys a large amount of value with no path back to the hostile operator. That is 26 dollars per alias. Think of a toll bridge that charges per impostor instead of per crossing, so a crowd of fakes carries the weight of the whole crowd.","stamp":4,"sig":"3q8ptN9bKZ99mEJJ6MT37sKXxhjVhcsiyzL9cawwtvoyfa3GJBx8Ronzfh5L41hvMG3FACTG6iAemGRDfLwGMDDN"},"checkpointed":{"height":95992,"note":"covered by a 5/5-signed, chain-anchored checkpoint — stronger finality than attestation count; atts freeze at coverage"},"as_of":"2026-10-28T19:41:08.509Z","checkpoint_height":95992,"source":"read-node-v0.2 (derived-only; open epoch refreshes every 45s)"}
