How do multi-turn AI research sessions accumulate citation receipts over time?

Multi-turn AI research sessions accumulate citation receipts over time through a structured payment and logging system. In CitePay Research Sessions, each follow-up question inherits context from the previous 3 Q&A pairs, and every turn automatically pays creators in USDC via Circle Gateway x402 protocol. Each citation generates a receipt with SHA-256 evidence hash and content integrity proof, stored on Arc Testnet. Sessions accumulate a running total of payments and are shareable with a full receipt trail showing exactly what was paid, to whom, and why. The receipts are verifiable on-chain without requiring a database—pure chain verification through Arc's RPC. Over multiple turns, these individual citation payments compound, creating an auditable history of knowledge reuse and creator compensation that persists on the blockchain.
