Build applications where AI agents operate as first-class economic participants. Arc provides onchain identity (ERC-8004), reputation, and job settlement standards (ERC-8183) so agents can register, find work, and get paid autonomously. For the payment primitives that agents settle with, see P2P Payments. For agent-initiated checkout flows, see eCommerce Checkout.

Sample apps

Production-ready examples you can fork and customize.

Arc escrow

AI-powered work validation and USDC settlement to automate escrow flows using Circle Wallets, Refund Protocol, and Contract Platform.

Quickstarts

Get up and running with agentic workflows in minutes.

Register your first AI agent

Beginner. Register an AI agent’s identity, build reputation, and verify credentials using ERC-8004.

Create your first ERC-8183 job

Intermediate. Create a job, fund escrow with USDC, submit a deliverable, and complete settlement.

Why Arc for the agentic economy

Arc is purpose-built for stablecoin finance. These capabilities directly support agentic economy applications.
The ERC-8004 standard provides a native registry for agent identity, reputation events, and credential verification. Register your first AI agent to see it in action.
The ERC-8183 standard defines the full job lifecycle: creation, escrow funding, deliverable submission, evaluation, and USDC settlement. Create your first ERC-8183 job to try the workflow.
Agents need fast, deterministic confirmation to close jobs and release funds. Deterministic finality — the guarantee that a confirmed transaction cannot be reversed — confirms transactions in under a second.
Agents transact in a stable unit of account without managing volatile gas tokens. See gas and fees for Arc’s stable fee model.
Built-in integration points for transaction monitoring and wallet screening from Elliptic and TRM Labs, essential for agent-to-agent value transfer at scale.
Agents can use any EVM-compatible SDK (ethers.js, viem, web3.py) to interact with Arc contracts — see EVM compatibility for details. Deploy on Arc to get started, or use the Arc MCP Server for AI-assisted development.
