Description

Summary

This proposal requests Council approval to implement GIP-0087: On-Chain Indexing Agreements.

GIP-0087 introduces a contract-managed framework for indexing payment agreements, replacing GIP-0081's off-chain signed vouchers with on-chain offer, acceptance, and settlement, backed by protocol-issuance-funded escrow.

Context

GIP-0081 established indexing payments but left two trust gaps: payers lack slashing recourse, and indexers must trust gateways to issue valid vouchers. Curation-driven indexing rewards also create supply and demand inefficiencies.

On-chain agreements address these gaps through contract-based authorization and automated escrow management via the Recurring Agreement Manager, which receives protocol issuance through the Issuance Allocator.

Key Components

Component Description
Agreement Lifecycle Offer, Accept, Collect, Cancel, Remove
Authorization Callback verification via agreement manager contract, no extra signing
Escrow Funding Recurring Agreement Manager funded by issuance allocation
Operational Modes Full, OnDemand, JustInTime, with graceful degradation
Escrow Flexibility New adjustThaw on PaymentsEscrow, no timer reset
Subgraph Service New IDataServiceAgreements interface for accept, collect, cancel
