Free-preview pre-check maps an actionable source to every sub-claim (3/3); paid reading may proceed within the budget.
Cached and free. Onchain Micropayments Digest has an exceptional reputation (89/100) and directly addresses per-citation weighted payments, which perfectly matches the sub-claims about author-reward splitting. Must be reused from cache. — selected for the claim-aware evidence portfolio (targets claims 1, 2, 3; 0 fetch USDC, 1 attention slot).
Source is cached and cheap ($0.003), but its topic (USDC settlement) is not closely related to nanopayment author-reward splitting. Low past citation rate (17% avg weight 1) suggests limited relevance. Skip as insufficient topical alignment.
Cached and free. Agent Economy Weekly's x402 agent payment rail content is tangentially related to nanopayments and could provide context on machine-driven micropayments, but its low past citation rate (17%, avg weight 0.25) indicates weak direct utility. Worth caching for background but not high value. — cached bytes are free, but this read does not clear the attention gate (EV 0.30, minimum 0.45, with a required claim target).
Cached but not cheap ($0.003). Idempotency keys for double-spend prevention is a technical distributed systems concept, not directly about nanopayment reward splitting among authors. No past citation history. Skip as off-topic.

Cached and free. CoinDesk article mentions stablecoins and creator payments, which could provide context on payment rails, but its past citation rate (25%) is modest. Cache for possible background info but not critical. — cached bytes are free, but this read does not clear the attention gate (EV 0.40, minimum 0.45, with a required claim target).

Cached and free. Arc Settlement Benchmarks focus on x402 settlement latency, which is about payment finality rather than author-reward splitting. Low past citation rate (12%, avg weight 0.3). Cache for settlement context but not directly useful. — the free-preview coverage check could not connect this source to any sub-claim, so no toll is authorized.

Reused cached Onchain Micropayments Digest — Per-citation payments weighted by contribution (free) — S1
Final check — "Nanopayments divide the citation reward proportionally among…": 60% assessed by S1
Final check — "The split is executed automatically through a smart contract…": 30% assessed by S1
Final check — "If no contribution weights are set, the reward is split equa…": 0% assessed
Final coverage assessment — The single source confirms proportional splitting across multiple authors based on contribution weights and automatic execution, but does not mention predefined weights explicitly, nor the use of a smart contract or ledger, nor a fallback to equal splits when weights are absent.
Synthesizing a grounded answer from 1 source(s)…
Below reward gate — S1 supports claim 2 at 30%: “multi-author works can split a single reward across contributors automatically”
Rejected 1 invalid evidence span(s) and 1 unsupported citation marker(s); rejected markers cannot receive citation rewards.
No citation passed the evidence gate — the $0.025000 citation pool stays unspent; settled access tolls still stand.
Drafted answer citing 0 source(s)
Confidence: Low — no citation passed the evidence gate.
Done. Spent $0 across 0 confirmed/simulated payment(s) to creators.
Payouts to cited creators appear here.
Based on, nanopayments split a citation reward automatically across contributors, with each cited source paid in proportion to its contribution to the final answer. Weighted nanopayments make this granular settlement practical, and multi-author works can split a single reward across contributors automatically. The source does not specify predefined contribution-weight configuration, execution via smart contract or ledger specifically at citation registration, or an equal-split default when no weights are set.
Evidence ledger — quotes verified before rewards
Nanopayments divide the citation reward proportionally among all co-authors based on predefined contribution weights.
0%No reward-qualifying evidence
The split is executed automatically through a smart contract or ledger when a citation is registered.
0%No reward-qualifying evidence
If no contribution weights are set, the reward is split equally among all listed authors.
