Sufficiency

Final coverage assessment — None of the provided sources discuss 'Nanopayments and the $0.000001 floor' or its relationship to batching. The sources cover x402 payment timing, USDC settlement, Arc settlement benchmarks, and Link spending data, but none mention nanopayments, a $0.000001 floor, or the specific batching mechanism implied by the question. Therefore, the claims cannot be assessed from the given evidence.
