This is a really interesting model for usage-based pricing, especially for agent-driven services. The batching approach makes a lot of sense for enabling true micropayments. One thing I’m curious about if I may is how settlement guarantees work when payments are signed offchain but settled later in batches. Are there mechanisms that ensure those authorizations are eventually included onchain or protections for service providers if a batch fails or is delayed? Also curious how you think about this design relative to approaches like payment channels or rollup based micropayments, which try to solve a similar problem around high-frequency payments.

We just launched Circle Nanopayments on testnet, and I want to explain the core problem this solves.
Let’s say you want to charge $0.01 for an API call, especially for agentic use cases.
That seems completely reasonable.
But the gas fee to process that payment costs $0.005. x.com/circle/status/…
