Our recent @lablabai hackathon with @GoogleDeepMind brought in 227 submissions exploring what becomes possible when AI agents, APIs, content, and real-world services can all be monetized with sub-cent USDC payments on Arc.
What stood out across the builds:
→ Agent-to-agent payments and autonomous economic activity
→ Pay-per-call APIs, content, and intelligence
→ Real-time settlement for trading, oracle, and security workflows
→ New monetization models for creators, researchers, and developers
The quality and breadth of submissions made it clear that programmable dollars and nanopayments are unlocking new internet business models.
Congrats to the winners below.

We realized a lot during this process.
We worked hard to build something with a real story and a strong narrative. But apparently, for many people, the narrative doesn’t matter nearly as much as who’s shilling it. Get the right KOLs behind you and you could launch a shit token and somehow make it work.
Once again, we’ve seen the ugly side of the meme market and how quickly some KOLs change their colors. We’ll have more to say about that soon. This was just us getting it off our chest. 🤣
On the bright side, our CoinMarketCap application is complete. Now we wait for the process to finish. ☺️
And we’ll keep building collaborations that actually bring value, keep our community excited, and most importantly, involve people with CHARACTER.
No, $BUILDOG isn’t going anywhere.
We fight until the end. 🐶🔥
The planned FUD will fade.
$BUILDOG will be exactly where it belongs. 🐶
Our collaborations keep growing.
We keep building. We keep moving.
We never stop. 🔥
The $BUILDOG community stands against racism in all its forms.

If you posted this screenshot today just to mock the demographic of these people, you’re worse than a rugger.
This is exactly why founders don’t like doxxing themselves on CT.
There’s a lot of talent out here, but they’re scared to come out and show the world their work.
