Kuot

Kuot is a recursive citation economy. An autonomous research agent pays the sources it reads with x402 nanopayments in USDC on Arc (src/lib/x402.ts, src/lib/pay.ts), batched gas-free through Circle Gateway (src/lib/gateway.ts). An adjudication step establishes proof-of-grounding — which sources actually grounded the answer (src/lib/grounding.ts, contracts/src/GroundingRegistry.sol) — and splits USDC back to authors through the on-chain AttributionLedger.sol. Answers are themselves paid resources: when another agent cites Kuot, a fraction flows recursively to the original authors (src/lib/recursive.ts, sidecar/citation-toll.mjs). Unclaimed rewards accrue yield in an ERC-4626 USYC-style vault (contracts/src/CitationYieldUSYC.sol with MockUSYC.sol and UnclaimedEscrow.sol). A Next.js app and an MCP server (mcp/server.mjs) expose the loop, with Foundry tests covering a dozen contracts.
