Payments Protocol Notes
This receipt binds a source payment to the answer that used it; FeeRouter-routed receipts accrue into creator-claimable balances. The previous hash links it into the append-only attribution ledger.

answer context
Explain the FeeRouter split payout mechanism only.
The FeeRouter split payout mechanism routes USDC through an on-chain split keyed to a creator's wallet and basis-point shares, enabling multi-contributor works to divide payments automatically. Each payout emits an evidence receipt that is hash-chained into a tamper-evident ledger. Sub-cent citations accrue to a claimable FeeRouter balance that the creator can withdraw with a single claim call, which prevents per-citation gas costs from becoming prohibitively expensive.
Open answer evidenceExplains x402 settlement and EIP-3009 authorization flow that FeeRouter payouts depend on. Provides context for how USDC transfers are signed and settled on Arc, which underpins FeeRouter mechanics.Seed/demo content from Payments Protocol Notes. Title: x402 Settlement Schemes on Arc. Excerpt: x402 turns HTTP 402 into a real payment step: a resource returns payment requirements, the client signs an EIP-3009 USDC authorization, and the server settles it. The 'exact' scheme settles that authorization directly on Arc as a single USDC transfer, so the reader's debit is a verifiable on-chain transaction. The Circle Gateway-batched scheme instead pools many signed authorizations for gasless sub-cent settlement, referenced by a Gateway payment id rather than one Arc tx.
