COMPACT RECEIPT
Settlement starts with signed receipt facts.
Phase 1 records compact receipts that bind payer, provider wallet, metadata hash, token usage, total Test USDC paid, and the service epoch. The receipt is the economic source of truth for payment split, challenge timing, and buyer/provider epoch weight.
PENDING USDC
Provider revenue waits for finalization.
Wallet-paid Test USDC is split at record time: the provider share moves into the provider-pending vault and the treasury share moves into the treasury vault. Provider-share USDC releases only after the receipt survives the challenge window and finalizes.
CLAW CHALLENGE
Challenges use CLAW bonds.
A challenger posts the configured CLAW bond against a receipt during the challenge window. Rejected challenges burn the bond. Accepted challenges return the bond, refund provider-share USDC to the payer, apply reward-vault transfer and burn economics, and invalidate activated weight when applicable.
