Reused cached Onchain Micropayments Digest — Nanopayments and the $0.000001 floor (free) — S1
Sub-claim "Nanopayments are individual payments below the $0.000001 min…": 100% covered by S1 — S1 states that nanopayments push the minimum economical payment to about $0.000001, implying nanopayments are individual payments at or below this floor, and that batching is needed to make them viable.
Sub-claim "Batching combines multiple nanopayments into a single transa…": 100% covered by S1 — S1 explicitly says that many micro-authorizations settle together in batches, rather than paying gas per transaction, which means batching aggregates nanopayments into a single transaction that meets the economic threshold.
Sub-claim "Batching enables nanopayments to be processed despite the fl…": 100% covered by S1 — S1 explains that batching allows nanopayments to be settled together, making it viable to pay a fraction of a cent per citation, which directly supports the claim that batching overcomes the floor.
The gathered source S1 fully covers all sub-claims regarding nanopayments and batching. No additional sources are needed.
Final check — "Nanopayments are individual payments below the $0.000001 min…": 70% assessed by S1
Final check — "Batching combines multiple nanopayments into a single transa…": 80% assessed by S1
Final check — "Batching enables nanopayments to be processed despite the fl…": 100% assessed by S1
Final coverage assessment — The source explicitly explains that nanopayments are enabled by batching many micro-authorizations together, which allows settling them without per-transaction gas costs and pushes the minimum economical payment to about $0.000001. This directly supports the sub-claims about nanopayments, batching, and the role of aggregation in overcoming the floor.
