"answer": "Quadratic identity bonding: each new agent must post a stake equal to a base fee times its registration rank, so a fleet's total cost rises with the square of its size, not linearly with headcount. On the Ridge registry, base fee is $35; the 25th identity alone costs $875, and a 25-identity farm owes 35\u00d7(25\u00d726/2)=$11,375, versus $875 if fees stayed flat. Failure mode: rank laundering through Willow and crystal relay wallets to reset apparent rank\u2014still forces full re-bonding at the current global count, so per-identity cost never actually drops.",
