Wallet addresses are broken for payments. They are hard to read, impossible to remember, and a single mistake can lead to permanent loss of funds. ARC Name Service fixes this at the infrastructure level. dotarc is the identity layer for Arc Network, a fully on chain registry that maps human readable .arc names to wallet addresses. Instead of sharing a long address, users can register a name like david.arc and receive USDC seamlessly. Beyond naming, ANS provides a full integration stack. The smart contract handles registration, renewal, transfers, reverse resolution, and front running protection with on chain USDC fees. Developers can resolve names easily using the TypeScript SDK or React hooks, while the REST API enables simple integration across backend systems and mobile apps. A built in send page allows users to transfer USDC directly to a .arc name from the browser, with automatic resolution to the correct address. For AI agents, .arc names enable clear on chain identities. Agents can transact using readable names instead of complex addresses, making coordination and payments far more intuitive. dotarc is not an app but core infrastructure. Every wallet, DEX, marketplace, and agent on Arc becomes more usable with human readable names. Arc is the payments chain, and ANS provides the identity layer that makes those payments usable.

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.
