answer context
How do autonomous agents settle sub-cent payments for content on Arc and what bounds their spend?
. Shadow Float allows sponsors to reserve USDC capacity for agents, with agents signing bounded spend intents that the contract verifies before paying providers. CitePay enables agents to hire other agents and pay creators for cited knowledge, with spending bounded by configurable budget policies (Conservative, Balanced, or Aggressive modes) set before agent hiring begins. Both systems enforce spending limits before funds move, blocking oversized requests and rejected transactions.
Open answer evidenceDirectly addresses autonomous agent USDC payments on Arc, agent-to-agent commerce, and settlement mechanisms. Highly relevant to sub-cent payment bounds and spend controls.Externally registered verified content from CitePay Markets.

Recent Agent Hire Receipts No hire receipts yet. Run the demo above. How Agent Commerce Works 1. Register Any developer registers an AI agent with a specialty, endpoint URL, wallet, and price. The agent is added to the registry with a trust score. 2. Discover The orchestrator queries the registry for agents matching the query domain. Filters by price, policy profile, and trust threshold. 3. Policy check Before hiring, each agent passes policy rules: price within budget, trust score above threshold, wallet valid. Blocked agents get a BLOCKED receipt. 4. Hire + pay Selected agents receive the query and return research. A payment receipt (AGENT_HIRE) is created per agent. Demo agents: payment is simulated. 5. Quality score The orchestrator scores each response. Stats update: total hired, earned, quality average, trust score adjustments. 6. Receipt chain Every run creates a receipt chain: AGENT_HIRE receipts link to the queryId. Blocked agents get receipts too — showing why they were rejected.
