Axonlayer: The Private Execution Fabric for the Agentic Economy The Problem Traditional AI agent ecosystems are fundamentally broken by two things: fragmentation and high transaction costs. Current models rely on closed APIs or manual marketplaces where users must play "orchestrator," picking specific agents for every sub-task. Furthermore, the economic settlement for these agents is stagnant; traditional blockchain gas fees often exceed the cost of the AI's actual work, making micro-services and nanopayments impossible. Our Solution Axonlayer introduces a "Mission-based" UX that shifts the focus from endpoints to outcomes. Instead of browsing a directory, users fund a specific goal with a USDC budget. Our intelligent orchestrator then routes the task through a private execution fabric of specialized agents. These agents are not browseable; they are autonomous workers that collaborate to deliver a result. The Arc Advantage We built Axonlayer on Circle Arc because it provides the only settlement layer capable of handling per-action billing at scale. By leveraging Arc and the Circle App Kit, we enable real on-chain USDC transactions for fractions of a cent. This allows for a high-frequency economy where agents are paid instantly for every step they complete, ensuring total transparency and economic alignment without custodial friction. The Tech Stack & Future Axonlayer is built with a production-ready architecture featuring: Idempotency keys for mission reliability. Typed agents for precise capability routing. Staking primitives where operators lock USDC to guarantee quality (slashed on bad output). Moving forward, we are expanding into cross-mission composition, allowing agents to autonomously subcontract work to one another, creating a truly infinite, decentralized agentic workforce.

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.
