Agent-to-Agent Compute Marketplace

Agent-to-Agent Compute Marketplace is a trustless compute market for the agentic economy. Consumer agents request work such as image classification, model inference, embeddings, or data processing from provider agents. Each request is metered, priced, checked against a hard per-unit ceiling of $0.01, and settled in USDC through an Arc smart contract. The project includes a Vyper marketplace contract, a FastAPI backend with metering, pricing, settlement, provider registry, and reputation engines, plus a Next.js UI for stakeholders. The UI lets users register providers, submit compute jobs, run batch jobs, inspect backend health, and view provider reputation. The demo proves why nanopayments matter: traditional gas costs make per-action compute payments uneconomical, but Arc + USDC nanopayments make sub-cent autonomous agent settlement viable. The local demo can generate 50+ agent-to-agent transactions in simulated mode, and the backend is structured to switch to live Arc settlement when funded testnet credentials are configured.
