I'll one-up this idea!
So for each publication, you'd need to provide two serious attempts of reproducing other published results. You would make the reproductions yourself, but also anyone else could do them for you (here's where PhD students come in), but once used for a publication, they'd be "spent tokens". (No, I'm not going to even mention NFT. ..wait a minute, crap..)
From here it would follow that eventually all results would be reproduced (or failed to do so), until we eventually run out of results to reproduce and would need to shift the burden from two reproductions down to one—probably go from 2 to 1 in some stochastic manner. (Maybe also similar number of serious peer reviews of such reproductions would be required to keep the system running.)
Maybe we could make a new currency out of this. Actually, it sort of automatically does that by itself. I foresee no issues in this whatsover.
