Autonomous trading agents have historically chosen between two failure modes: execute freely with no guardrails (high-performance, high-risk), or sit behind policy engines that never actually trade (safe but inert). This gap is quantifiable — H1 2025 crypto theft alone reached $3.01 billion. PolicyMint closes both sides of the problem: it trades actively while proving every risk decision on-chain through the ERC-8004 Validation Registry, making institutional-grade safe execution achievable for the first time. How the Policy Engine Works Before every trade execution, PolicyMint runs a mandatory pre-flight evaluation against three core policy rules: Spend Cap — Per-transaction USD limit capped at ≤ $450 to stay below the RiskRouter's $500 hard ceiling Venue Allowlist — Only whitelisted trading venues (e.g., kraken-spot, uniswap-v3) are permitted to receive orders Daily Loss Budget — Cumulative drawdown tracked in real time; agent halts when the daily loss threshold (≤ 4% of capital) is breached Every trade intent is structured as an EIP-712 typed-data payload, cryptographically signed with the agent wallet, and bound to Ethereum Sepolia (chainId 11155111) via EIP-155. If the policy engine returns allow, the signed intent becomes the execution proof submitted to the ERC-8004 RiskRouter. If the engine returns block, the Kraken CLI call never fires and a human-readable block reason is logged.

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. Get guidance from Arc and Circle experts through on-site support. 📍 On-site Venue (April 25-26): MindsDB SF AI Collective 3154 17th St, San Francisco, California, USA 🤝 Go solo or team up, it's your flow. 🏆 Compete for a $15,000+ Prize Pool. 📍 Please note: If approved for the on-site experience, you’ll also have the opportunity to showcase your project live.
