Istanbul Route AI replaces Google-Maps-style crowd-sourced traffic data with live municipal fleet telemetry and settles the cost of that data in sub-cent USDC on Arc, paid by an autonomous agent instead of the user. When a driver taps a destination, a silent Gemini 3 Flash agent looks at three OSRM route alternatives and adaptively calls six real-time data tools: İBB traffic index, IETT bus density, incidents, weather, ISPARK parking, and time-of-day context. Each tool call is a one-hundred-micro-dollar USDC settlement on Arc. A full route query costs the user half a milli-dollar, produces five to seven real on-chain transactions, and reaches final decision in under four seconds. The user signs one EIP-3009 TransferWithAuthorization through Circle Gateway at the start of the session. No MetaMask popups after that, no gas, no crypto jargon. The driver sees an Apple-Wallet-style prepaid card that silently ticks down as the agent works. The municipality runs a companion operator console with four live KPIs, a streaming on-chain payment feed (every row linkable to ArcScan), a zone heatmap blended from İBB + IETT, an agent decision-mix ring, and a margin-proof card contrasting Arc fees with Ethereum L1.

ArcPay is a comprehensive TypeScript SDK that makes USDC payments simple on Arc Network. Zero gas fees, 150+ APIs, 3 lines of code to integrate. THE PROBLEM Developers building payment features face: - Complex smart contract integrations - Users needing native tokens for gas - Fragmented tooling and poor documentation - No privacy or streaming options OUR SOLUTION ArcPay provides everything in one SDK: Core Payments - Send USDC instantly with sub-second finality. Users pay zero gas fees via Circle Gas Station. Payment Streaming - Real-time money flow for salaries and subscriptions. Recipients claim funds per-second. Escrow System - Trustless trades with milestone releases and arbiter dispute resolution. Privacy Payments - Stealth addresses (EIP-5564) for confidential transfers. AI Agent Payments - Autonomous agents with budget controls and spending limits. x402 Micropayments - Pay-per-use API monetization protocol. Voice Commands - Hands-free payments: "Send 10 USDC to Alice" (bonus feature powered by Gemini AI). DEVELOPER EXPERIENCE Three lines to start: const arc = await ArcPay.init({ network: 'arc-testnet' }); await arc.sendUSDC(recipient, '10.00'); Full TypeScript support, interactive playground, comprehensive docs. TECHNICAL STACK - 150+ APIs across 28 modules - Smart contracts on Arc Testnet (Chain 5042002) - Circle Wallets (ERC-4337 Smart Contract Accounts) - Circle Gas Station for sponsored transactions - Native USDC with ~0.5s finality PRODUCTION READY 105 tests passed, 18 real onchain transactions verified on Arc Block Explorer.

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.

In this hybrid hackathon powered by Arc, developers will build the next generation of agentic commerce systems using Arc with USDC. Explore a world where AI agents and web services can pay for APIs, data, compute, and content in dynamic, usage-based ways, while Arc provides stablecoin-native settlement with predictable USDC fees and deterministic, sub-second finality. This hackathon is supported by Google & Google DeepMind, with a dedicated challenge and $40,000 in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) credits awarded for the best use of Gemini models and Google AI Studio. 📅 January 9 – 24, 2026 • Jan 9 – 23 (Online Phase) – Collaborate and build online with developers and AI innovators from around the world. All projects must be submitted by the end of the online phase on January 23rd. • Jan 23 (On‑site Build Day – San Francisco, CA) – Selected participants will be invited to an exclusive in‑person session to refine their projects and connect directly with mentors. • Jan 24 (On‑site Demos & Awards – San Francisco, CA) – Live pitching sessions to a panel of judges and ecosystem partners, followed by the official winner announcement.
