NOMOS — Hire AI Workforces, Paid Per Action

Most people who could benefit from agentic AI today can't access it. Brand managers, e-commerce operators, and marketing leads have real work to ship —but they're stuck on a treadmill of new tools, subscriptions, and paradigms that move faster than anyone can keep up with. And the few teams technically capable of building agent workflows themselves hit a second wall: every subtask gets routed to the most expensive frontier model, and setup costs spiral. NOMOS is a marketplace of AI workforces. Pre-built squads of specialist agents — researchers, analysts, writers, support agents, and more — that anyone can hire in one click to deliver finished business work. No prompts to write, no models to pick, no agents to wire. An optimization engine decomposes each goal into subtasks and routes them to the cheapest capable model, so every run costs a fraction of DIY. The marketplace is two-sided: operators on the demand side, developers and AI builders on the supply side, listing optimized squads and earning every time one is hired. NOMOS becomes the monetization layer for the people who actually build agentic systems — and the place non-AI-native teams come to get work done. For this hackathon, we're integrating Circle's Nanopayments and USDC settlement on Arc as the native economic layer of the platform. Every squad run, every subtask between specialist agents, and every builder payout becomes a sub-cent USDC transaction on Arc. This is exactly the use case nanopayments were built for: high-frequency, micro-value, agent-driven transactions where traditional rails collapse under volume or fees. Arc's predictable, dollar-denominated USDC fees and sub-second finality make per-action metering economically viable for the first time — and unlock NOMOS's broader vision: a marketplace where agents themselves hire squads and pay each other directly. Today: humans hire AI teams. Tomorrow: so do their agents. NOMOS is the marketplace and the payment layer for both.
