Abstract
Traditional payment rails assume a human in the loop and price credit risk accordingly. Autonomous agents and physical machinery instead need provable authority, deterministic settlement, and bounded, verifiable behavior. Arisma specifies a trust-and-settlement layer where every action is authorized by a hardware-bound session key, settled deterministically in stablecoin, and anchored to a verifiable event before value or machinery is released.
Settlement topology
Micro-settlements clear on Layer-2 stablecoin rails with sub-second finality, metered to the fraction of a cent so that a single drone charge, robot pick, or sensor reading can carry its own payment. Clearing is deterministic: the same inputs always produce the same receipt, anchored for later audit.
