Verifiable-reward reinforcement learning already supplies deterministic rewards where answer keys exist, while the claim that a staked pool can substitute where no key exists is not established here.
Source quote, verbatim
The residue is the domain restriction: RLVR works where an answer key exists, and the claim of this paper is that a staked pool can stand where the key cannot. That claim is not established here.
