so, i just registered for the lepton agents hackathon, a two week online builder program hosted by canteen in partnership with circle on
@arc.
the event focuses on building ai agents that can send, receive, and coordinate nanopayments using usdc on arc's stablecoin native infrastructure.
participants will have access to mentorship, builder resources, and direct support from researchers, founders, and industry experts.
the hackathon runs from june 15 to 29, 2026, and features a $50,000 prize pool across multiple categories. builders will also explore circle's ecosystem tools, including usdc, cctp, gateway, and app kit.
excited to learn, build, and experiment with the future of autonomous economic agents powered by fast, low cost, and real time settlement on arc.
whoโs ready to build on arc?
