The Agora hackathon challenged builders to create AI agents that trade, invest, create, and interface with markets, with settlement on Arc using USDC. This session puts the spotlight on three award-winning teams from the cohort — a builder-to-builder conversation focused on demos, real use cases, and lessons you can take directly into your own Arc projects.
What was showcased
- 🥇 Mimir Markets — Cankat Polat: a 1v1 prediction market where an AI Oracle council reads evidence and settles claims onchain without human input
- 🥈 Precall — Mrgtee: USDC-bonded prediction calls powered by a five-agent council and x402 micropayments, with a 68% win rate across 336 resolved calls
- ⭐ Archimedes — Dan Browne: a quantitative finance research system that fuses trading ideas with 10,000+ arXiv papers and live market data to backtest strategies with rigorous statistical validation
All three projects are open source and available to fork, import, and build on top of via the Arc Open Source Showcase.
This hackathon is part of the Agora builder series — a Canteen × Circle collaboration exploring what's possible on Arc.
