How do you verify on-chain that AI citation payments were made correctly?
On-chain verification of AI citation payments uses three complementary mechanisms: (1) **Circle Gateway x402 Settlement** batches signed EIP-3009 authorizations so USDC nanopayments clear without per-payment gas, creating atomic on-chain records. (2) **Arc Testnet RPC Direct Audit** reads live wallet balances, transaction counts, and USDC flows directly from chain state—CitePay's on-chain audit page demonstrates this with zero-database verification. (3) **Receipt Hashing & Content Integrity Proof** — every citation payment generates a SHA-256 evidence hash tied to the source content, answer context, and creator wallet, making the payment cryptographically bound to the work reused. These receipts are shareable and accumulate in multi-turn sessions, creating an auditable trail. The combination of atomic settlement on Arc, direct RPC verification, and content-addressed receipt hashes ensures payments are verifiable without trusting any intermediary database.
