answer context
How can a budgeted AI agent buy publisher citations without overspending?
The paying agent treated "How can a budgeted AI agent buy publisher citations without overspending?" as a source-backed answer, not a free scrape. Circle Developer Notes: Circle Gateway batches signed EIP-3009 authorizations so x402 payments can clear at sub-cent values without per-payment gas. Indie Researcher: A source payment should be tiny, automatic, visible to the creator, and tied to the answer that reused the work. Forum Protocol: Forum-style mandates bound an agent budget, publish receipts, and make spend controls enforceable instead of advisory. 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.
