Aegis Agent

Aegis Agent revolutionizes supply chain finance by combining AI-driven risk assessment with blockchain settlement. Built on Arc's USDC-native infrastructure, the platform enables suppliers to unlock instant working capital from their unpaid invoices, while liquidity providers earn competitive returns. The Mistral AI agent analyzes each financing request in real-time, considering credit scores, payment terms, and market conditions to calculate transparent discount rates. EIP-712 signatures bridge off-chain AI decisions with on-chain execution, ensuring secure and trustless transactions. Unlike traditional DeFi, Aegis leverages Arc's unique architecture where USDC serves as both the transaction currency AND gas token. This eliminates the friction of managing multiple tokens, approval transactions, and surprise ETH requirements—creating a seamless experience for mainstream users. The platform supports three roles: Buyers approve invoices for financing, Suppliers receive instant liquidity at AI-calculated rates, and LPs deposit USDC to earn 90% of all financing fees. All transactions settle on-chain with complete transparency, while sensitive invoice data remains off-chain in Supabase. Aegis Agent solves critical problems in both traditional finance (slow approvals, opaque pricing) and DeFi (multi-token complexity, poor UX), making institutional-grade invoice financing accessible to businesses of all sizes.
