Agent Settlement
How Synapse turns agent actions into auditable USDC settlement records.
Synapse separates fast runtime charging from slower on-chain settlement. The Gateway is the control point for discovery, credentials, charging, and receipts. Smart contracts hold collateral and settle withdrawals.
Settlement invariant
Every paid invocation should produce enough evidence to answer: who called, what service was called, what was charged, which balance changed, and whether the provider can later withdraw earnings.
