Final coverage assessment — The gathered sources directly address the core components of the question. Source S3 explicitly defines nanopayments and the $0.000001 floor, and states that batching is used to settle them together to reduce costs, making such small payments viable. This provides direct coverage for the claim that batching enables efficient processing of transactions below the floor. Sources S1 and S2 provide contextual support by discussing the latency implications of individual versus batched transactions, indirectly reinforcing the rationale for batching. No further evidence is needed to answer the question about what the concept reveals about batching.
Synthesizing a grounded answer from 4 source(s)…
Verified — S3 supports claim 2 at 100%: “Nanopayments push the minimum economical payment to about $0.000001 by signing off-chain authorizations and settling them in batches.”

According to the article "Nanopayments and the $0.000001 floor," batching is used to combine multiple nanopayments into a single transaction to reduce costs. The source states that nanopayments achieve a minimum economical payment of about $0.000001 by signing off-chain authorizations and settling them in batches, where many micro-authorizations settle together instead of paying gas per transaction .
