or delayThe outcome depends on a slow, fragmented process.
Today: compliance is a cost center placed beside settlement — not a verifiable condition that can control settlement itself.
Problem framing · Read as: manual review is the bottleneck, not the payment rail.

The answer
An independently deployed compliance intelligence agent.
A human, company, or AI agent hires Citely by creating an ERC-8183 job.
Citely does not claim to know every regulation. It buys evidence from specialized compliance agents, then compiles the evidence into conditions a wallet can verify.
Citely is an agent that purchases evidence; it is not a monolithic legal database.

Built on Arc + Circle Agent Stack
Two agents, two wallets, paying each other in USDC — no human in the loop.

The output
A Settlement Authorization is a conditional proof — not a payment instruction.
“The wallet decides whether the evidence permits the release.
Citely never takes custody of client funds. The authorization constrains execution; it does not command a wallet to pay.
BOUNDSpecific job + payee + amountThe proof is valid only for the deal it names and until its expiry.
GROUNDEDEvidence hash + module versionEvery decision links to a check item and legal source.
DETERMINISTICPASS / HOLD / ESCALATERelease conditions derive from module results, not a model verdict.
VERIFIABLEEIP-712 signed attestationA wallet can verify the authorization offline before settlement.

Why now · Why Arc
This project exists because of Circle.
Circle turns compliance from a cost center into programmable infrastructure.
x402Agents can buy servicesCitely pays specialized compliance agents in USDC, per call.
ERC-8004Agents can discover agentsCapabilities, pricing, and endpoints are discoverable on-chain.
ERC-8183Compliance can control settlementThe authorization binds directly to an escrow job and its outcome.
ARCA native USDC transaction railAgent payments and testnet gas share the same stablecoin-first environment.
Without x402, ERC-8004, and ERC-8183, this business model is a workflow — not infrastructure.
