In a world where AI and robotics make labor and intelligence increasingly abundant, the true differentiators become creativity and resource allocation. When anyone can generate code, images, and content, what matters is having the vision first - and proving it. This is why NFTs and blockchain-verified ownership become essential infrastructure for the creator economy. Agentic Commerce on Arc embodies this thesis. Users describe dream products in natural language, and AI agents handle everything: generating images via FLUX, minting NFTs on Arc, processing USDC payments through Circle. THE VIBE CODING MANIFESTO: This entire project - architecture, React components, smart contracts, testing, and this Remotion-generated demo video - emerged from pure human-AI dialogue. No traditional coding. Just creative direction and AI execution. THE ROADMAP: Today it's product images. Tomorrow it's AI-generated music tracks with provable first-creation timestamps. Then 3D scans of physical objects, fashion designs, architectural concepts. Any creative artifact that can be imagined, generated, and ownership-verified on-chain. The platform becomes the universal proving ground for creative priority. KEY FEATURES: - Natural language creation with AI image generation - NFT minting proves creative ownership on Arc - Circle USDC stablecoin payments - Autonomous agent-driven commerce TECH: React, TypeScript, Solidity, Arc blockchain, FLUX/Replicate, Circle USDC, Railway The future belongs to those who imagine and allocate, not those who merely execute. Built in 48 hours through pure vibe coding.

In this hybrid hackathon powered by Arc, developers will build the next generation of agentic commerce systems using Arc with USDC. Explore a world where AI agents and web services can pay for APIs, data, compute, and content in dynamic, usage-based ways, while Arc provides stablecoin-native settlement with predictable USDC fees and deterministic, sub-second finality. This hackathon is supported by Google & Google DeepMind, with a dedicated challenge and $40,000 in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) credits awarded for the best use of Gemini models and Google AI Studio. 📅 January 9 – 24, 2026 • Jan 9 – 23 (Online Phase) – Collaborate and build online with developers and AI innovators from around the world.
