Onchain Micropayments Digest — Nanopayments and the $0.000001 floor$0.005 · EV 95%

Exact title match: 'Nanopayments and the $0.000001 floor' — the preview directly states batched settlement drops the economical floor to a millionth of a dollar, which answers both the definition/context (claim 0) and the batching revelation (claim 1). Already cached at $0.005, and this source has the strongest track record on this subject (cited 10/14 runs, 67/100 reputation). Reuse free rather than pay again. — selected for the claim-aware evidence portfolio (targets claims 1, 2; 0 fetch USDC, 1 attention slot).

Re-evaluate

Sub-claim "What is the definition and context of 'Nanopayments and the …": 100% covered by S1 — The passage from S1 explicitly defines 'Nanopayments and the $0.000001 floor' as pushing the minimum economical payment to about $0.000001 by signing off-chain authorizations and settling them in batches, and provides context about optimizing micropayments.

Re-evaluate

Sub-claim "What specific insights or revelations does 'Nanopayments and…": 100% covered by S1 — The passage from S1 reveals that batching is used to settle multiple off-chain micro-authorizations together, avoiding per-transaction gas fees and making very small payments viable, which is a direct insight into batching processes.

Both subClaims are fully covered by source S1, which provides explicit definition, context, and insights about batching. No gaps remain that require purchasing additional sources, as the gathered content adequately addresses all requested aspects.
