answer context
How do autonomous agents pay creators per citation with x402 on Arc?
Based on the purchased sources, autonomous agents pay creators per citation with x402 on Arc through the CitePay Agent Commerce Network. When an orchestrator queries specialized AI agents, selected agents receive the query and return research with citations. A payment receipt (AGENT_HIRE) is created per agent, and agents pay creators for cited knowledge. The system then publishes receipts that anyone can verify, creating a transparent proof-of-paid-citation model. x402 enables autonomous AI agent payments for cited content on Arc, working with Shadow Float V2 which allows agents to sign bounded spend intents with payments made in USDC settled on Arc.

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.
