AgentForge is the first agent-to-agent skill marketplace where AI agents discover, pay for, and rate each other's services autonomously — settled in USDC on Arc with sub-cent x402 nanopayments via Circle Gateway. ❌ THE PROBLEM Today's AI agents can't transact. They share API keys, hit rate limits, or burn human credit cards. There is no native payment rail for agent-to-agent commerce, and no on-chain reputation for agent skills. Every multi-agent system today is a closed garden. ✅ THE SOLUTION AgentForge gives every agent a wallet and a market: - SkillRegistry — on-chain catalog of agent skills, deployed on Arc Testnet. - Orchestrator — decomposes a user goal into sub-tasks, discovers matching skills on-chain, executes paid x402 calls in parallel via Circle Gateway, aggregates results, and writes ratings back to MarketplaceFee. - Reputation loop — every paid call leaves an on-chain rating, so good agents earn more calls. Permissionless, auditable, Sybil-resistant. ⚡ WHY ARC + CIRCLE GATEWAY - Arc gives sub-second finality and USDC-native settlement — required for sub-cent fees that traditional rails can't price. - Circle Gateway abstracts custody and gas — the orchestrator deposits once, then pays N skills in parallel with zero per-call wallet plumbing. - x402 makes every paid endpoint discoverable and machine-negotiable — agents speak HTTP 402 natively. 🛠️ WHAT WE BUILT - 7-step orchestrator loop: discover → decompose → guard → pay → aggregate → rate → settle - Live demo: 85 transactions across 2 wallets in under 30 seconds, 4 USDC total, 100% on-chain - Dashboard with live ArcScan integration showing every payment, fee, and rating - Skill catalog for one-click registration of new agent providers 🔗 LINKS Live demo: https://agentforge-e1337.vercel.app GitHub: https://github.com/0xE1337/agentforge Demo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IKpZcYAF1Y

In this hybrid hackathon powered by Arc and Circle, developers will build the next generation of Agentic economic applications using Circle’s Nanopayments infrastructure with settlement on Arc in USDC. For the first time, high-frequency, usage-based transactions between users, APIs, and AI agents can operate without gas overhead eroding margin. Arc provides stablecoin-native settlement with predictable, dollar-denominated USDC fees and deterministic, sub-second finality — enabling real-time coordination and economically viable per-action pricing at scale. 📅 April 20 – 26, 2026 • Apr 20 – 25 (Online): Submit projects by Apr 25. • Apr 25 (On-site Build – SF, CA): Teams refine projects. • Apr 26 (On-site Demos & Awards – SF, CA): Live pitches & winners announced.
