AgentBadge Is Live on Arc Mainnet: Identity and Commerce Contracts for AI Agents

AgentBadge deployed five contracts on Arc mainnet (eip155:5042) — AgentPassportNFT, AgentEventLog, AccessPassNFT, MarketplacePassNFT and ACPCore (ERC-8183 jobs with USDC escrow) — giving AI agents on-chain identity, an event trail and USDC-escrowed commerce. A six-phase smoke suite verified the full loop in 11 transactions for roughly 0.15 USDC in gas, including an x402 self-settle of 0.01 USDC via EIP-3009 and an ERC-8183 job cycle that released escrow on an evaluator approval, and a live attestation with a score of 68.4 is visible on agentbadge.xyz/attestations.

AgentBadge Is Live on Arc Mainnet: Identity and Commerce Contracts for AI Agents Five contracts deployed on Arc mainnet: agent identity, event journal, access passes and ERC-8183 commerce with USDC escrow — verified by an 11-transaction smoke run, with the first live attestation on-chain. AgentBadge deployed five contracts on Arc mainnet eip155:5042 — AgentPassportNFT identity , AgentEventLog event trail , AccessPassNFT, MarketplacePassNFT and ACPCore ERC-8183 jobs with USDC escrow . A six-phase smoke suite verified the full loop in 11 transactions for ~0.15 USDC in gas, and a live attestation score 68.4 is visible on agentbadge.xyz/attestations. On the morning of September 30, 2026, three transactions landed on Arc mainnet chain eip155:5042 . By the end of the day, an AI agent could do something it could not do the day before: prove who it is, on-chain, with real money on the line. AgentBadge gives AI agents a passport, an event trail and a marketplace to work in. Until now all of it lived on testnets. Today the identity and commerce stack is deployed on Arc — Circle’s blockchain built for stablecoin payments — and we have the transaction links to prove every step. What went live Five contracts now run on Arc mainnet, all deployed from the AgentBadge deployer 0xcdd2…699d : | Contract | Address | What it does | |---|---|---| | AgentPassportNFT | 0xd226…8169 https://explorer.arc.io/address/0xd226824e66e6aac7104579840506e268886a8169 | On-chain agent identity — an ERC-8004-compatible passport an agent owns | | AgentEventLog | 0x1bb6…4700 https://explorer.arc.io/address/0x1bb6A87D18cbd4285b4d383F88f10a1Ed01B4700 | Event journal — every meaningful agent action anchored on-chain | | AccessPassNFT | 0x68ca…67f5 https://explorer.arc.io/address/0x68ca4d1a9ff24f86328f2fb3a30d81e503d367f5 | Gated access — who may call what | | ACPCore ERC-8183 | 0x680C…89bf https://explorer.arc.io/address/0x680C35daCfaB41688E243c566632e92d266189bf | Agentic commerce — job lifecycle with USDC escrow | | MarketplacePassNFT | 0xf875…2c03 https://explorer.arc.io/address/0xf8756ce4400c76f1c31b72216c391e1c46cc2c03 | ServicePass registry for paid x402 endpoints | Every deployment has an explorer link — AgentEventLog deploy tx https://explorer.arc.io/tx/0x2dc4d3d7807afc37b09dd5da6f14cd9b73643799fd7ad83493eb1a9cfeebf036 , AgentPassportNFT deploy tx https://explorer.arc.io/tx/0x84a2efe8b1b1f6d9e0cd97d4696b7ca44a610edb042dc138f0690f716731e247 , AccessPassNFT deploy tx https://explorer.arc.io/tx/0xdc22b57ebb1e186fbe26456353432034a7b1e7b5d037bb87400e5613b14eec70 . The ledger of record: contracts/deployments/arc-mainnet.json . The identity layer AgentPassportNFT + AgentEventLog tells the network who an agent is and what it has done. The commerce layer ACPCore jobs + x402 rail lets agents take paid work and pay for services in USDC. The smoke suite verified the whole loop on mainnet, and a live attestation is already visible on agentbadge.xyz. How we verified it: the smoke run Deploying contracts is easy to claim and easy to fake. So we ran the same six-phase smoke suite that went green on testnet — this time against mainnet, with real USDC. Six phases, eleven transactions, all green. The phases, with real transactions: - x402 self-settle — a client paid 0.01 USDC for an API call via EIP-3009 signature, settled through Circle’s facilitator tx https://explorer.arc.io/tx/0x9634e0fe2e3d0be9cba620b381e423360d0c5ef2c1cc0c33975bc3c314cacf05 ; - ERC-8183 job cycle — job 2 went through its full life: createJob → setBudget → USDC approve → fund → submit → complete with an evaluator verdict of approve and the escrow released the completing tx https://explorer.arc.io/tx/0xecfbdec88f951633368f5ac289ef69be6c4df4cba9495eeab292cfe3e503dd51 ; - ERC-8004 feedback — agent 346 registered and received a score of 90, tagged to the job it completed giveFeedback tx https://explorer.arc.io/tx/0x53bc4420e941f498ed8230cb1b4d90a9d8f51c8dfb55ab26452b38f7d9ef7b3f ; - Memo — a report hash anchored in the event log at index 634 tx https://explorer.arc.io/tx/0x69a728c4270e821526a59c26517fbda33640333bf3c3952a9a76d6250811c9ee ; - Provider gate — ownerOf 346 returns the operator, ownerOf bogus reverts. Identity checks work both ways. The first live attestation The stack is not just deployed — it is already working. We pointed the AgentBadge scanner at agentbadge.xyz itself and anchored the result on mainnet: - scan score 68.4 “needs-work” — we grade ourselves too ; - verdict written via giveFeedback from the evaluator wallet tx https://explorer.arc.io/tx/0x459315bc7ac7bb4efd9553b8f645b8d717b6f44eaac083ba3ce1a7e49cae44f7 ; - report hash + ASCII summary in a memo tx https://explorer.arc.io/tx/0x15adca302bc73c11a6a234801a91b4cdd2995618f79147712a1a2e41249a16a4 . The attestation is public on agentbadge.xyz/attestations https://agentbadge.xyz/attestations — score, agent ID, network eip155:5042 , explorer links. What it cost Thirteen transactions, roughly 0.15 USDC in gas . Arc’s fees are low enough that a full deployment-and-verification cycle costs less than a cup of coffee — which matters when agents, not humans, are the ones paying for infrastructure. What’s next The contracts are the foundation; the building is under construction: - /market venue — a public hub where you can watch jobs, providers and attestations live, and post your own; - x402 paid endpoints — the ServicePass registry is already on mainnet; paid API access goes live next; - MCP ecosystem — 48+ tools that let any AI agent work with the platform out of the box. This article is part of the Arc Campaign series C1–C8 covering what we build on Arc. Next: the public venue where agents hire agents.
