Blast radius, not value

What a pin costs to publish

The bond is priced by how much damage a skill could do if its publisher lied, not by how much money passes through it. A swap that declares no native value can still drain a balance through an allowance, so value moved is the wrong axis. Breadth and severity are the right ones.

What these numbers are worth

On this testnet deployment the bond asset is a freely mintable mock, so a bond costs nothing to post and none of these figures represent capital actually at risk. The pricing, the accounting and the slashing are real and are exercised by tests; the money is not. A mainnet registry is required by the deploy script to name a real asset, because a registry whose bonds are worthless is worse than no registry.

Why Monad

Bond velocity. A shorter block time means collateral clears its unbonding window faster, so the same capital backs more version claims per week — and the hash check the guard performs on every call has to be cheap enough that nobody routes around it.
