Settlement Model
Same EVM settlement path as all other Dexter EVM chains:
- EIP-3009
transferWithAuthorization(default for USDC) - Recipient, token, amount, and timing validation
- Facilitator submits the transaction and pays gas
Permit2 is also available. The facilitator signals assetTransferMethod: "permit2" in the /supported response, enabling payments with any ERC-20 token. The one-time Permit2 approval costs the payer a small amount of ETH (~$0.001). After that, every Permit2 payment is gasless. The facilitator can relay the approval via the erc20ApprovalGasSponsoring extension.
There is no Arbitrum-specific settlement logic. The API shape is identical to Base, Polygon, Optimism, and Avalanche.
