ArcAgent: Autonomous AI Marketplace & Nanopayments
Agent Marketplace is a proof-of-concept for the upcoming Agentic Economy. We address the primary barrier to autonomous AI commerce: transaction costs. On legacy networks like Ethereum, a micro-payment of $0.01 can cost $2.50 in gas, making it economically impossible for agents to trade small data units. Using Google Gemini 1.5/2.0, we created a negotiation layer where Buyer and Seller agents use strategic prompts to reach a price consensus. Once an "AGREED" signal is triggered, the system invokes Circle's Programmable Wallets on the Arc blockchain. We demonstrate a "Nanopayment Storm"—executing 100 on-chain transactions in seconds. The result is a staggering 99.996% reduction in costs ($250 vs $0.01 for 100 tx), proving that Circle and Arc are the essential infrastructure for AI-driven markets, pay-per-API-call models, and real-time data monetization.
