Onchain Micropayments Digest — Per-citation payments weighted by contribution$0.005 · EV 85%

Onchain Micropayments Digest is the exact source whose title matches the question phrase 'Per-citation payments weighted by contribution', and its preview explains the mechanism (reward sources in proportion to how much they grounded an answer). Its tag set includes 'gas', and it has the best track record on this subject (64% citation rate, 7 citations). Cached, so reuse is free and directly targets all sub-claims about how gas factors into weighted per-citation payments. — selected for the claim-aware evidence portfolio (targets claims 1, 2, 3, 4; 0 fetch USDC, 1 attention slot).

Re-evaluate

Sub-claim "What does the phrase "Per-citation payments weighted by cont…": 0% covered — The phrase is defined in S1 as a model where payments are proportional to contribution, but gas is not mentioned. The question specifically asks what it reveals about gas, which is not covered.

Re-evaluate

Sub-claim "What is the relationship between gas and per-citation paymen…": 0% covered — The gathered sources do not mention the relationship between gas and per-citation payments in Keryx. S2 discusses Keryx's buyer recovery but not gas or payment weighting mechanisms.

Re-evaluate

Sub-claim "How does gas factor into the mechanism of per-citation payme…": 0% covered — No source describes how gas factors into the mechanism of per-citation payments weighted by contribution in Keryx. S2 does not address gas or this payment mechanism.

Re-evaluate

Sub-claim "What insights about gas are provided by the description "Per…": 0% covered — The description in S1 does not provide insights about gas; it explains the payment model but not its relationship to gas. Keryx's model details are not covered in the sources.

Re-evaluate

Coverage is 0.0 for all claims, as none of the gathered sources address gas in the context of per-citation payments weighted by contribution or Keryx's model. The skipped sources do not appear to contain relevant information about gas or this specific payment mechanism, so purchasing them is not recommended based on available previews.

Sufficiency

Final coverage assessment — The question asks what 'Per-citation payments weighted by contribution' reveals about gas. The phrase is defined in S1 but explicitly mentions only the fair weighting model and nanopayments for settlement. None of the sources discuss gas at all. The sub-claims all require a relationship between gas and the described payment model, which is entirely missing. Coverage is 0 because no source mentions gas. The assessment does not establish a complete supported answer for every requested part.

Lowconfidenceno citation passed the evidence gatedeep researchpreview plan 4/4 claimsportfolio 3/3 · evidence 0%

The phrase "Per-citation payments weighted by contribution" describes a payment model in which each cited source is paid in proportion to how much it contributed to the final answer, so heavily-relied-upon sources earn more and lightly-used ones earn less. This is made practical by weighted nanopayments, and multi-author works can split a single reward across contributors automatically.

Regarding gas specifically: none of the supplied passages mention gas, gas fees, or any gas-related mechanism. The Keryx engineering note describes the buyer client's quoting, buying, and recovery flow, including the buy command obtaining a fresh quote, checking the payment policy, writing a durable job journal, and signing and submitting once, but it does not discuss gas. The x402 abstract describes HTTP 402 as a payment rail where a server responds 402 with machine-readable payment requirements and the client signs a payment authorization and retries, but it also does not mention gas. Therefore, the question of what "Per-citation payments weighted by contribution" reveals about gas cannot be answered from these sources; the relationship between gas and per-citation weighted payments in Keryx, and how gas factors into that mechanism, are likewise unsupported by the provided passages.
