if you've ever sold a logo, a website, a video edit, or a few hundred lines of code online, you know the deal. the platform takes a big cut, holds your money for weeks, and owns the reputation you built. you also run a a risk completing a work for a client without getting paid or clients pay for services without geting what they want.
we thought the people doing the work and paying for the work deserved better rails.
@karwanBuild is a agentic settlement platform for digital services and products as well as SME cross-boarder trades where the payment layer actually protects you. you agree a price, the money locks in an on-chain escrow and it releases as the work is delivered. both sides are covered before a dollar moves. try it out today live on @arc testnet
let's dive in!
Nigeria is one of the largest stablecoin users in the world yet sending dollars across borders, paying suppliers, settling payroll for remote workers and moving money for diaspora families is still slower and costlier than it should be because the underlying infrastructure was never built for any of this
Here's a video brief on how Arc infrastructure fixed that missing layer

Interesting approach the biggest friction in cross border business is often finding opportunities and settling payments efficiently If Karwan can simplify both discovery and settlement in one flow, that's a problem worth solving
Always exciting to see teams building tools that make global trade more accessible
in karwan, we budget inference compute as a line item.
so, deterministic decisions stay in code, the model handles only genuine judgement calls. therefore, most deals settle without spending a token.

testing random things on karwan
we built this for ease of croosborder trade deals. anyone can bring their deals to karwan and settle in udc payment.
looking for deals??? don't worry sign up at https://t.co/ihPimdegqM and you agent will find deals for you... it's that simple
AI agents need infrastructure that can match the speed and determinism of software.
Arc gives developers a more usable foundation for the agentic economy with:
→ Gas paid in stablecoin (starting with USDC)
→ Sub-second deterministic finality
→ Programmable settlement logic
→ Opt-in transaction privacy
That makes it easier to build systems where agents can transact, coordinate, and settle value in real time.
As the internet economy becomes more agent driven, trust and coordination will increasingly rely on cryptographic proof.
@jerallaire on why blockchains matter: proving identity, verifying events, executing contracts, and moving value over the open internet at a fraction of the cost of traditional systems.
arc has changed my perspective already. I see a vision that I have never seen before or even thought of achieving.
we started @karwanBuild as a small idea which we never thought would be possible to achieve but today we are driving towards building the solution that has long been void mostly within the MEASA corridor for cross border SME trades
the problems has been underlying for long and what is needed is a fast settlement layer that solves all the challenges with cross border trades
@arc has provided the infrastructure for this
it’s been 16days since I joined the @arc community as a builder nd contributor. the opportunity is endless
@karwanBuild now on Arc is an opportunity to release to the world what the team behind it has been building. nd we can't wait to present at the next office hour @bobbilee
@samconnerone Reading posts on arc house is interesting ngl
It broadens ones mind to understand where arc is headed.
Arc is a one big community we’re happy to be part of
