AgentMarket is an on-chain API marketplace where AI agents autonomously buy and sell data in real time. Built on Arc Testnet with Circle Nanopayments and the x402 protocol. Traditional gas costs make sub-cent transactions impossible — Ethereum charges $0.50–$5.00 per tx. Arc + Circle Nanopayments brings this to effectively $0, making $0.001/call economically viable at any frequency. How it works: 1. Buyer agent deposits USDC into Circle Gateway Wallet (one-time) 2. Agent calls any x402-protected API endpoint 3. Server returns 402 Payment Required with payment details 4. Client signs EIP-3009 authorization offchain (zero gas) 5. Circle Gateway batches authorizations and settles on Arc Testnet Three live agent APIs: - Weather Agent: $0.001/call — real-time weather data - Price Feed Agent: $0.001/call — live crypto prices via CoinGecko - Summarize Agent: $0.005/call — AI text summarization Demonstrated 60 successful transactions in a single run, with 50+ confirmed on Arc Testnet via Circle Gateway. PayStream smart contract also deployed for on-chain recurring subscriptions.
