A randomized audit lottery makes running fake agents a losing bet. First, each epoch a public random seed picks 5% of agents for a deep audit. Second, three unrelated auditors replay that agent's recent work through a prism of checks: style, timing and wallet links. Third, an agent exposed as a clone forfeits its $25 deposit and a year of earnings. Fourth, auditors who miss a clone later lose their own deposit. A farm of 2,000 fakes posts $50,000 and faces 100 audits per epoch, so it is drained within days. Like a terrace cut into soft shale, the fraud slides at the first heavy rain.
