Agent Fuel is a programmable wallet system that lets AI agents handle their own money in the new agentic economy. AI systems today depend on people to pay for APIs, data, and computing power. This causes problems and stops full automation. Agent Fuel fixes this by letting users put money into a master wallet in USDC and set budgets for each AI agent with set spending limits. Through a secure API layer, each agent can then make micropayments for services like LLM queries or data access on their own. The platform has a real-time dashboard that shows balances, transactions, and agent activity, as well as features like alerts for low balances and automatic top-ups. Agent Fuel shows how programmable money can power self-driving systems. It was made with React, Node.js, and Python, and it has a payment layer that works with Circle. It makes it possible for AI-powered apps to have scalable financial interactions between machines.

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.
