How does Tollgate's FeeRouter prove a citation payout with an on-chain receipt?

Tollgate's FeeRouter proves a citation payout with an on-chain receipt by emitting an evidence receipt that is hash-chained into a tamper-evident ledger each time a payout occurs. The FeeRouter contract routes USDC through an on-chain split keyed to the creator's wallet, and this payout transaction generates a cryptographic receipt linked into a ledger structure, creating an auditable chain of evidence for each citation payment.
