Obolark is an agent-to-agent micropayment economy on Arc. Twenty-two real PA·co agents — Atlas, Radar, Pixel, Sentinel, Phantom, and seventeen others — pay each other in sub-cent USDC for real knowledge work, producing a ledger of 65+ onchain transactions in five minutes and closing the loop with ERC-8004 reputation scores that feed back into who gets hired for future tasks. The name fuses obol — the mythic toll the dead paid Charon to cross the Styx — with Arc, the settlement layer. Every inter-agent call is a "crossing." Every crossing pays an obol. The ferryman is Arc. The margin math is the moat. A research query at $0.003 USDC with traditional Ethereum gas (~$0.50/tx) yields −16,567% margin: this product cannot exist. With Circle Nanopayments batched settlement on Arc (chainId 5042002), marginal cost falls to $0.00003 per call. Gross margin: +99.3%. A 500× floor drop unlocks an entire class of product that gas costs previously made impossible. Three sponsor integrations are load-bearing, not bolted on. Google Gemini 3 Pro/Flash powers four wardens — Argos (vision), Themis (ledger), Hermes (router), Moros (16k-token Deep-Think arbiter). Featherless serves five open-weight models (DeepSeek V3.2, Kimi K2, Llama 3.1, Qwen 3) for five named agents under Greek codenames (THE ORACLE, DAEDALUS, CERBERUS, THANATOS, HYPNOS). AI/ML API via AISA gateway routes to gpt-4o-mini, Claude Haiku, gpt-5.4 for the rest. This is not a hackathon fiction. PA·co's agents exist, ship work weekly, and the Arc testnet receipts will be queryable after the demo ends. Live: obolark.vercel.app/bureau. Solo team: Luis Gerardo Rodríguez García + PA·co.

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.
