About this hackathon
A hybrid lablab.ai hackathon powered by Circle's Arc blockchain, held Jan 9–24, 2026: two weeks online, then invite-only build and demo days in San Francisco on Jan 23–24. Builders shipped agents, apps and dev tools where AI agents pay for APIs, data and compute in USDC, across tracks for Gateway micropayments, trustless agents, autonomous commerce, dev tools, vibe-coded apps and product design. Google and Google DeepMind ran a 'Best use of Gemini' challenge with $40K in GCP credits. The total pool was $50K in USDC and credits.
