ARIA (Autonomous Risk-Intelligence Agent) is a production-grade multi-strategy AI trading agent that executes via Kraken CLI, enforces 13 risk-adjusted gates with Kelly Criterion sizing, optimizes DeFi yield, and makes every decision cryptographically verifiable on-chain via ERC-8004 on Ethereum Sepolia. ARIA runs three parallel strategies on a shared Kraken paper account: - Quant Trader (75% budget) — Grok 4.2 reasoning over 13 technical indicators with composite signal scoring and Kelly Criterion sizing. Every trade passes 13 mandatory risk gates. - Stablecoin Arbitrage (25% budget) — 5 sub-strategies at 1-second intervals: peg snap-back, cross-stable relative value, triangular arb, flash crash sniper, and orderbook imbalance across USDT/USDC/DAI/USDE. - Yield Optimizer — Analyzes Aerodrome LP pools on Base for optimal risk-adjusted yield allocation. Every decision — BUY, SELL, or HOLD — passes through a 12-step verifiable pipeline: market scan, AI reasoning via Grok 4.2, 13 mandatory risk gates, on-chain validation through ARIAValidatorV4 (8 Solidity gates), Kelly sizing, Kraken execution, EIP-712 signed checkpoints, IPFS rationale upload, RiskRouter trade intent on Sepolia, ValidationRegistry attestation, TEE tamper-proof proof, and ReputationRegistry feedback. Rejected trades are logged on-chain via RejectionLogger — proving the risk engine blocks bad trades, not just good ones. 9,200+ on-chain transactions | 1,200+ attestations | 99/100 trust score | 500+ trade intents | Zero risk gate bypasses.

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.
