OmniAgentPay gives AI agents a complete payment infrastructure layer. Think of it as Stripe for AI agents one SDK that lets any autonomous agent handle money safely and instantly. Traditional blockchain SDKs are built for humans with screens and confirmation buttons. Handing an AI agent a private key is a security disaster waiting to happen hallucinations, prompt injection, or simple logic bugs can drain a treasury in seconds. OmniAgentPay solves this. We wrap Circle's developer-controlled USDC wallets in an atomic Safety Kernel that enforces spending rules before any transaction executes. What agents get: Universal pay() Method: One call intelligently routes through direct USDC transfers, x402 pay-per-use APIs, or cross-chain CCTP transfers automatically. Atomic Spending Guards: Budget limits, rate limits, recipient whitelists, and transaction caps enforced atomically, even under high concurrency. Autonomous Cross-Chain: Full Agent-Side CCTP minting to Arc Testnet and other networks no external relayers required. Zero Blockchain Complexity: No ABIs, no gas math, no private keys. Just pay(). We're not building another agent application. We're building the infrastructure any AI agent can plug into to handle money whether it's LangChain, OmniCoreAgent, or a fully custom agent. Built With: Python, Circle Developer-Controlled Wallets, CCTP V2, x402 Protocol, Arc.

Education has always been the cornerstone of human progress. From the earliest oral traditions to modern digital classrooms, the way we learn has continuously evolved. Yet, despite technological advancements, students often struggle with information overload, lack of personalized guidance, and inefficient study methods. This is where EDU – An Agent for Learners steps in. EDU is not just another digital assistant; it is a smart study companion designed to simplify learning, enhance understanding, and empower students to reach their full potential. Unlike traditional tools that merely provide answers, EDU focuses on guiding learners step by step, helping them understand concepts deeply, practice effectively, and plan their studies strategically.
