Micropayment Rail

Learn how Loyal settles inference fees with sub-second, low-cost crypto transactions.

Requirements You Enforce

Constraint	Target	Why It Matters
Finality	< 1 second	You need deterministic confirmation before releasing outputs.
Fee Ceiling	< $0.001	You keep inference pricing predictable at penny scale.
Spending Controls	Smart-contract enforced	You prevent compromised agents from draining reserves.
Censorship Resistance	Global availability	You guarantee access regardless of jurisdiction.

Reference Flow

1. Allocate Budget

   You lock stablecoins into a MetaDAO-supervised escrow that enforces daily spend limits per agent.

2. Stream Payments

   Payment channels distribute micro-settlements to service agents as each inference step completes.

3. Reconcile

   Settlement data syncs with your accounting tooling, producing auditable ledgers without revealing user identities.

Anchor your treasury in assets that match inference demand. Volatility management is a core operational control, not an afterthought.

Network Integrations

Solana

Leverages high-throughput consensus and 400ms block times for deterministic settlement.

MetaDAO Controls

Smart contracts enforce rate limits, whitelist approved agent identities, and trigger emergency circuit breakers.

Reporting Interfaces

Webhooks feed anonymized spend data into governance dashboards so token holders can monitor market health.

You should expect additional settlement options (L2 rollups, privacy-preserving chains) to activate post-launch; design your integrations for modularity.
