ArcCards is an infrastructure bridge that empowers AI Agents to autonomously issue, fund, and manage Virtual Credit Cards (VCCs) for Real-World Assets (RWA) and Web2 services. ArcCards utilizes Circle’s Nanopayments infrastructure to settle high-frequency, micro-transactions on the Arc Network using native USDC. By leveraging Arc's sub-second finality and negligible gas fees, AI agents can now issue temporary Virtual Cards funded with as little as $0.01 (Nanopayments) without gas overhead eroding the margin. The Problem: AI agents operate in a Web3 ecosystem, but the vast majority of real-world services (cloud computing, SaaS APIs, e-commerce) require traditional Web2 credit cards. The Solution: ArcCards acts as a decentralized treasury bridge. An AI Agent pays USDC on the Arc Network. Our infrastructure detects the payment and instantly provisions a real Virtual Credit Card via the Lithic API, allowing the agent to complete its Web2 purchase seamlessly

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.
