Volt Protocol enables continuous cryptocurrency payment streams with real-time P2P order matching. Built on Arc's Layer-1 infrastructure, leveraging USDC native gas and sub-second deterministic finality for institutional-grade performance.

What is Arcent? Arcent is the first x402 payment implementation on Arc Network with Pay-on-Success protection. AI agents autonomously discover, negotiate, and pay for API services. No human intervention, no credit cards, no subscriptions. The Problem AI agents can't participate in the economy. They can't have bank accounts, pass KYC, or manage subscriptions. The internet was built for humans, not machines. Our Solution Arcent gives agents a native economy: - Programmable wallets via Circle SDK - HTTP 402 payment protocol (x402) - USDC micropayments on Arc Network - Pay-on-Success — agents only pay for working results - Agents only sign, they never pay gas. The executor wallet covers all network fees. Key Innovation: Atomic Settlement Traditional x402: Agent pays → API called → If API fails, money lost ❌ Arcent: API called first → Response validated → Payment only on success ✅ This protects agents from paying for failed API calls. Technical Architecture - Circle Developer Controlled Wallets for agent custody - Arc Network for sub-second settlement (<1s finality) - Embedded SQL persistence for transaction audit trail - Multi-provider routing with reliability scoring

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.
