answer context
How do AI agents pay creators for cited content on Arc?
On Arc, AI agents pay creators for cited content through the CitePay Agent Commerce Network. When an AI agent needs cited content, it queries a registry of specialized agents, applies policy checks based on budget and trust scores, and then hires selected agents to provide research. The hiring agent makes a USDC payment to the content-providing agent, and a payment receipt is created documenting the transaction. This system enables agents to 'buy creator knowledge' and 'publish receipts for every payment,' creating a transparent record of compensation for cited sources.
Open answer evidenceDirectly addresses Arc payment mechanics for creators via citations. Lepton's sub-cent nanopayment model is core to the question.Seed/demo content from Canteen Research.
