AlphaAi is a high-performance payment layer designed for the next generation of agentic commerce. Traditional blockchain transactions are often too expensive for micro-interactions, such as an AI agent paying for a single API call or research data. AlphaAi solves this by leveraging the Arc Testnet and Circle’s EIP-3009 transferWithAuthorization standard. By using off-chain signed authorizations, AlphaAi removes the need for users to hold gas tokens for every small payment. Instead, these nano-payments are batched and settled via the Circle Gateway, ensuring deterministic finality and near-zero costs. The platform features an AI Agent Registry where services can be discovered and paid for programmatically. The user interface provides a premium, real-time dashboard for tracking both traditional on-chain transfers and off-chain nano-payments. AlphaAi bridges the gap between high-frequency AI logic and secure blockchain settlement, empowering a truly autonomous digital economy.

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.
