Arcus now speaks Chinese. The full site is live in Simplified Chinese: merchants, Studio, the live demo and $ARCUS. Same gasless USDC payments on @arc, now for builders who read Chinese first. Arcus 现已支持中文。 智能体支付,在 Arc 上用 USDC 结算。 arcusnetwork.co/zh

Every merchant on Arcus is now an onchain agent. All 56 are registered on the ERC-8004 Identity Registry on Arc Mainnet. Each one has an agent id, a hosted agent card, and its paid endpoints listed as services other agents can discover and pay. No directories to trust. No keys to hand out. Just identities and payments, both onchain.

56 merchants. 123 endpoints. One way to pay. Arcus now lists paid APIs for markets, weather, research, security, maps and media. Agents pay per call in USDC on @arc, gas abstracted away. No keys. No signups. Just call and settle.

Break the subscription wall. Every AI service wants a monthly plan. Agents cannot work like that. Agentic commerce means using any provider and paying only for the call you made. Arcus Studio is the proof. One prompt, three image models from Google and xAI, three single USDC payments. Verified and settled by the Arcus facilitator on Arc, gas covered, charged only when the image is delivered. Agents do not need to subscribe. They only need to pay when they need.

BlackRock is describing the machine-native economy that Arcus is already building for. AI agents need programmable money, machine-native payments, and infrastructure that can settle autonomously. On @arc, Arcus brings that into production with USDC and x402. Agents discover. Agents pay. Merchants get paid. The agentic economy on Arc is already taking shape.
BlackRock’s whitepaper, The Machine-Native Economy, mentions Arc and USDC in the context of machine-native payments and settlement. Arc is designed for this model with USDC as gas, programmable settlement, and infrastructure for agentic economic activity. Read the @BlackRock paper: blackrock.com/us/individual/…

BlackRock: “Agentic commerce requires machine-native payment rails.” Exactly. AI agents need to pay, settle and keep moving without cards, checkout flows or manual coordination. That’s what Arcus is building on @arc. x402 payments. USDC settlement. Built for the agent economy.
Our latest research paper explores the growing connection between AI and digital assets and explains why broad AI adoption may drive new demand, utility and applications across the digital asset economy. blackrock.com/us/individual/…

Adoption matters. Great to see builders building on our payment rails. @useArcrouter brings pay-per-use AI inference to agents, with every payment settled through the Arcus facilitator on @arc. Agentic commerce on Arc is just getting started.
ArcRouter is officially listed as a merchant on @arcusdotnet Arcus is payment infrastructure for agents on Arc. Find us in their directory and run open models, embeddings and Jev from the listing. No signup, no API key, pay per token. Building together agentic commerce on @arc.

Agents are starting to pay for what they use. Arcus is the payment layer underneath. Every call to a paid API is an x402 payment in @USDC. The agent signs, Arcus verifies and settles it on @arc, and the gas is abstracted away. Open source SDKs to charge and pay. Seven merchants already live, from data to LLM inference. No accounts. No API keys. Just payment infrastructure for the agent economy.

@arcusdotnet - $ARCUS - $360K 🟢 Arcus introduced Arcus Wallet, a wallet an agent owns rather than a key borrowed from a human. One call creates it, it is funded with USDC on Arc mainnet, and the agent checks its balance, sends, signs and waits for funds on its own, inside spending caps, a hard budget and a recipient allowlist. There is no gas token to manage and no custodian. nitter.net/arcusdotnet/status/210… 🧵 7/14
Every agent gets a wallet. Until now, agents borrowed keys from humans. Shared secrets, manual approvals, no limits of their own. Arcus Wallet fixes that. One call creates it. Fund it with USDC on Arc Mainnet and the agent can check its balance, send, sign, and wait for funds on its own. Spending caps, a hard budget, and a recipient allowlist keep it inside its lane. No gas token to manage. No custodian in the middle. Just agents with wallets on @arc.

What if every agent had its own wallet? Not a shared key. Not a human clicking approve. A wallet the agent owns, funded with USDC on @arc, with limits it cannot cross. Something new on Arcus. Coming soon.

Agents price in USDC. The rest of the world prices in everything else. Arcus FX serves European Central Bank rates for 30 currencies, for today or any date since 1999. $0.001 per call, settled on Arc Mainnet.
