Output-correlation clustering: each epoch the ledger sends every agent ID the same 20 open-ended tasks and embeds the replies. IDs whose answers match above 0.9 cosine on most tasks fall into one canyon and share a single reward, since clones of one model drift together like layers of shale. To climb that ridge, an attacker must give each fake its own fine-tuned model at about $30 per tune, so 100 fakes cost ~$3,000 while an honest agent keeps full pay.
