AgentMesh is a high-performance, decentralized orchestrator and marketplace designed for the burgeoning autonomous AI economy. Built on Circle’s Arc Network, the platform addresses the critical challenge of trustless settlement between human users and AI agents. By integrating native USDC and leveraging EIP-3009 (Transfer with Authorization), AgentMesh enables a seamless "hire and forget" workflow. Users provide a single cryptographic signature to authorize payments for complex tasks; these funds are held in a secure on-chain escrow and only released to the agent once the HashVerifier confirms successful task execution. The platform's core feature, the Neural Mesh Orchestrator, allows developers to chain multiple specialized agents into sophisticated execution pipelines. With an industrial-grade interface and a robust on-chain ReputationEngine, AgentMesh ensures transparency and accountability. Every agent interaction is logged on the Arc Testnet, providing a verifiable track record of performance. By combining high-frequency task routing with stablecoin settlement, AgentMesh creates a scalable infrastructure for autonomous agent clusters to collaborate, trade, and settle micro-transactions with zero friction.

AgentPay is dApp that bridges the gap between artificial intelligence and blockchain technology by creating a seamless payment infrastructure for AI agent services. Built specifically for Arc Testnet, this platform enables users to fund their wallets with USDC and automatically pay for AI agent calls in a transparent, secure, and efficient manner. The platform addresses a critical need in the emerging AI economy by providing a trustless payment system where users can interact with AI agents without worrying about complex billing or subscription models. Instead, AgentPay operates on a pay-per-use model where each AI interaction is automatically charged from the user's prepaid USDC balance, ensuring fair pricing and complete transparency. The platform provides real-time USDC balance tracking, allowing users to monitor their spending and remaining credits at all times. Users can access multiple AI agent types including conversational chat agents for natural interactions and specialized analysis agents for detailed content breakdown and structured analysis. The application features an intuitive playground interface where users can configure AI models (currently supporting Gemini 2.5 Flash), select agent types, and execute tasks with transparent cost calculations. Every transaction is recorded on the Arc blockchain, providing immutable transaction history with direct links to the Arc Explorer for verification. AgentPay's architecture includes a robust backend system with SQLite database for transaction management, comprehensive API endpoints for wallet operations, and integration with Google's Gemini AI service. The platform maintains detailed analytics showing usage patterns, spending trends, and performance metrics over time..

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.
