answer context
How should AI agents pay creators per citation on Arc?
Based on the purchased sources, AI agents should pay creators per citation on Arc using a two-layer approach: (1) use x402 settlement schemes to handle payment authorization and on-chain settlement, where the client signs an EIP-3009 USDC authorization and the server settles it as a single USDC transfer on Arc; and (2) route those payments through FeeRouter to accumulate sub-cent citations into claimable balances that creators withdraw in a single transaction, avoiding per-citation gas costs. FeeRouter also enables multi-contributor works to divide payments automatically through on-chain splits keyed to creator wallets.
