Sub-claim "Recent developments include the proliferation of layer-2 sol…": 0% covered — No gathered source mentions layer-2 solutions, Lightning Network, rollups, or improvements in transaction speed/cost.
Sub-claim "Stablecoins have become the dominant medium for onchain paym…": 60% covered by S5 — S5 directly discusses USDC instant onchain settlement and stablecoins as a unit of account, strongly supporting the claim about stablecoin dominance and settlement infrastructure.
Sub-claim "Advances in account abstraction and smart contract wallets a…": 10% covered by S5 — S5 mentions programmability of payments but does not address account abstraction or smart contract wallets, so coverage is very weak.
Sub-claim "Institutional adoption is growing through regulated stableco…": 30% covered by S4 — S4 reports on the GENIUS Act stablecoin regulation and senators' involvement, which hints at institutional adoption, but there is no direct mention of integration with traditional finance rails.
Current coverage is inadequate for claims about layer-2 solutions and account abstraction. The recommended sources likely address Ethereum rollups, settlement times, and smart contract wallets, filling the most critical gaps at low cost. The total cost is 0.008 ETH, within the remaining budget of 0.02 ETH.

Final coverage assessment — The gathered sources cover stablecoin infrastructure and some regulatory aspects, but lack explicit coverage of layer-2 solutions like Lightning Network and rollups, as well as account abstraction and smart contract wallets, which are essential for a comprehensive answer on onchain payment infrastructure.

## Expanding Stripe Radar to protect more of your business Radar now blocks high-risk transactions across all supported payment methods; defends against new fraud types like multi-account abuse and pay-as-you-go abuse, regardless of which payment processor you use; and gives platforms new tools to evaluate and mitigate merchant risk on and off Stripe. Expanding institutional participation in web3 beyond HODLing As more institutions have become interested in investing in crypto, we are rolling out new solutions to help. BGP Hijacking Analysis The attack targeted the cbridge-prod2.celer.network subdomain which hosted critical smart contract configuration data for the Celer Bridge user interface (UI). ## Scale of Stablecoin Adoption in Nigeria Makes Risks 'More Pronounced', Says IMF Efforts to suppress stablecoin use are “likely to be only partly effective,” the International Monetary Fund’s researchers said.
