Axonlayer: The Private Execution Fabric for the Agentic Economy The Problem Traditional AI agent ecosystems are fundamentally broken by two things: fragmentation and high transaction costs. Current models rely on closed APIs or manual marketplaces where users must play "orchestrator," picking specific agents for every sub-task. Furthermore, the economic settlement for these agents is stagnant; traditional blockchain gas fees often exceed the cost of the AI's actual work, making micro-services and nanopayments impossible. Our Solution Axonlayer introduces a "Mission-based" UX that shifts the focus from endpoints to outcomes. Instead of browsing a directory, users fund a specific goal with a USDC budget. Our intelligent orchestrator then routes the task through a private execution fabric of specialized agents. These agents are not browseable; they are autonomous workers that collaborate to deliver a result. The Arc Advantage We built Axonlayer on Circle Arc because it provides the only settlement layer capable of handling per-action billing at scale. By leveraging Arc and the Circle App Kit, we enable real on-chain USDC transactions for fractions of a cent. This allows for a high-frequency economy where agents are paid instantly for every step they complete, ensuring total transparency and economic alignment without custodial friction. The Tech Stack & Future Axonlayer is built with a production-ready architecture featuring: Idempotency keys for mission reliability. Typed agents for precise capability routing. Staking primitives where operators lock USDC to guarantee quality (slashed on bad output). Moving forward, we are expanding into cross-mission composition, allowing agents to autonomously subcontract work to one another, creating a truly infinite, decentralized agentic workforce.

StoryForge is an agent to create image-based video content for social media with AI, for people and businesses with a message. The concept : Goal : Easily generate video content for social media Idea : a text to image story generator that generates image-based video content with voice over for brands, influencers and digital marketing agencies. How it works : - User gives a few inputs in a fast, simple way - Prompt templates based on LangChain and generative text on GPT. - The images are made with Stable-Diffusion-v1-5 - The generative voice is made with ElevenLabs and pyttsx3 Advantages for users : - Generate engaging video content for social media, tailored to your message and brand, communication strategy and tone - Improved consistent communication throughout time, in order to truly convey your message - Leverage the full potential of AI and post more often and better content - Video content is more engaging Our tool tackles the obstacle to social media growth: Posting more - The more you post to Instagram, the more likes you get - Only 5% of Instagram accounts post one per day or more

The goal is to develop AI Tools to help in the creation of text content for e-commerce shops. The idea is a text generator specialized in product descriptions and website texts. The user gives a few inputs in a fast, simple and interactive way and then LangChain creates the prompts and ChatGPT the desired text. Advantages for users : Generate very accurate texts, perfectly tailored to your brand, communication strategy and tone It enables coherent and consistent communication throughout the website, as you will always use the same parameters for a specific brand. It will help e-commerce owners leverage the full potential of the web shop and translate it into other languages.

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.
