AgentFlow — Live Economic Visibility for AI Agents

AgentFlow is a real-time economic execution layer for AI agents, designed to demonstrate how intelligent systems can operate, collaborate, and transact in a fully on-chain environment. Instead of treating AI as isolated tools, AgentFlow models a marketplace where multiple specialized agents interact economically. Each agent performs a distinct role within a task pipeline, such as planning, research, generation, evaluation, and presentation. Every action is priced in sub-cent increments, and every payment is settled using USDC on Arc through Circle Nanopayments. When a user submits a task, the system routes it through a network of agents. These agents can compete on price, collaborate to complete work, and even subcontract portions of tasks to other agents. Each interaction produces a verifiable on-chain transaction, creating a transparent and auditable economic flow. The platform provides live economic visibility through a dashboard that tracks transactions, agent earnings, settlement timelines, and cost distribution. Users can explore how funds move through the system, view transaction hashes, and verify payments directly on the Arc Block Explorer. AgentFlow highlights a fundamental limitation of traditional blockchains. On networks like Ethereum, transaction fees can exceed the value being transferred, making micro-transactions economically impossible. In contrast, Arc enables near-zero-cost settlement, allowing agents to exchange value continuously without friction. This makes it possible to unlock a new class of applications where AI agents operate as autonomous economic actors, capable of bidding, collaborating, and settling value in real time. AgentFlow demonstrates that the future of AI is not just intelligent systems, but intelligent systems with economic agency. By combining Arc and Circle’s infrastructure, it shows how a scalable, transparent, and efficient agent economy can be built today.
