The paying agent treated "How does Tollgate prove reader-paid answers and creator citation payouts on Arc?" as a source-backed answer, not a free scrape. LeptonWeb Lab: A builder log for Tollgate, showing paid citations, receipt hashes, x402 source access, and creator onboarding on Arc. Indie Researcher: A source payment should be tiny, automatic, visible to the creator, and tied to the answer that reused the work. Canteen Research: Lepton asks builders to make sub-cent value move for agents and creators: per article, per call, per second, and per citation. It bought the minimum useful bundle of sources, paid each cited creator in USDC atomic units, and wrote a receipt chain that ties the answer to the citations that earned.
