HumbleHumansHub is a decentralized "Economic OS for Content" built on the Arc L1 network and Circle Nanopayments. We dismantle inefficient subscription models by enabling a true pay-per-read economy where premium content is unlocked for as little as $0.001 USDC—a price point previously impossible due to gas costs and processing overhead. Business Models & User Benefits 1. Nanopayment Efficiency (The Toll Model): Unlike platforms that take 30% of creator revenue, we operate on a flat $0.001 "network toll" per read. This aligns platform incentives with transaction velocity rather than gatekeeping. Readers enjoy "subscription freedom," paying only for what they consume, while writers receive 100% of their set price with instant, programmatic settlement. 2. The Yield-Bearing Float (TVL Monetization): To ensure frictionless reading, users pre-fund a ReaderVault with USDC. These idle deposits are automatically staked into Hashnote USYC, earning ~5% real-world yield from US Treasuries. This creates a "Capital Efficient Reading Fund"—the interest alone can fund a user's reading habit, making the platform effectively free for active readers while the platform earns a management fee on the generated yield. 3. The Agentic Research Economy: HumbleHumansHub features a Gemini-powered Research Assistant acting as an autonomous economic participant. When a user asks a complex question, the agent identifies premium sources, calculates a dynamic search fee, and autonomously executes machine-to-machine nanopayments to writers to "buy" the data needed for a synthesis. This transforms articles into a liquid data layer for AI, creating a high-frequency revenue stream for authors that doesn't rely on human clicks. By combining granular pricing, real-world yield, and agentic commerce, HumbleHumansHub proves that quality media can be both high-signal and economically viable at a sub-cent scale.

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.
