ArcWork - The Economic OS
The $3B global freelance market is broken by a massive "Trust Gap." Buyers fear paying for bad work, and sellers fear non-payment. Traditional platforms solve this with slow manual arbitration and rigid 14-day hold periods, stifling economic velocity. ArcWork is the solution: The Economic OS for Agentic Freelancing. We are the first platform where capital, humans, and machine agents coordinate with sub-second finality. By combining Circle's Programmable Wallets with Gemini's multimodal reasoning, we have replaced the "gig economy" friction with programmable, autonomous trust. How It Works: Smart Escrow: The buyer deposits funds into a smart contract on Arc L1 (using native USDC). Multimodal Work Submission: The freelancer submits their work (code, designs, files). Agentic Verification: Our Gemini-powered AI agent analyzes the submission against the original Scope of Work, inspecting text, images, and file contents. Trust-Minimized Release: Success: If the work matches the requirements, the AI triggers the smart contract to instantly release the funds. Risk: If anomalies are found, a "Tactical HUD" alerts the buyer to manually review or request revisions. The Tech Stack: Settlement: Arc L1 for deterministic, low-cost finality. Treasury: Circle Programmable Wallets for secure, developer-controlled fund management. Efficiency: Circle x402 Protocol for "Gasless Validation Credits," allowing freelancers to pre-check their work using AI, off-chain before final submission. Intelligence: Google Gemini 2.5 Flash for high-speed, multimodal semantic understanding of complex deliverables. ArcWork is not just a marketplace; it is a protocol for high-velocity, usage-based services where trust is code.

"Amazing solution team! Straightforward presentation with a technical demo to a problem existing all across the world!"

"It could use more technical depth, like better fault handling and benchmarks, plus some real scalability details and solid demos. I'd suggest adding formal verification, running stress tests, and throwing in human-in-the-loop features. It's got tons of potential, though—just keep iterating on a polished MVP, and it could make a real difference. Great job overall! "

"The largest of the technical burden lies on the Gemini based escrow agent as it has to arbitrate the correctness and completeness of the task at hand."
