**The Problem:** Current generative Web3 trading bots act as highly volatile black-boxes trying to predict alpha. Institutions don't just need alpha; they need strict mathematical guarantees against catastrophic loss. There is currently no enterprise-grade architecture that bridges advanced AI market sentiment directly into trustless, non-custodial portfolio liquidation logic. **The Solution:** DeFi Guardian acts as an absolute institutional backstop. Operating entirely off-chain, the agent continually monitors market conditions via the PRISM AI Oracle. If structural failure triggers are hit, it bypasses centralized exchanges and generates a deterministic EIP-712 cryptographically signed intent. This intent mathematically proves its ERC-8004 identity on-chain and routes a gasless execution through the Surge Risk Router, ensuring smart-contract wallet compatibility (EIP-1271). **Target Audience:** Institutional asset managers, decentralized hedge funds, and High-Net-Worth liquidity providers. **Unique Benefits:** Enforced cross-chain replay protection (EIP-155), non-custodial cryptographic security, developer-native Python Rich CLI presentation, and flawless ERC-8004 identity verification locking portfolio security to on-chain execution. **Technology & Category Tags:** Web3, Blockchain, AI Agents, Risk Management, DeFi, Python, ERC-8004, EIP-712, EIP-1271, Smart Contracts

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.
