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!

this is genuinely painful to read. imagine spending 3 years building your name on a platform. getting clients, completing jobs, earning reviews, and finally getting to a point where things are working out. then one morning, you wake up and your entire livelihood is behind a locked account. the funny thing is, the internet can remember an embarrassing tweet you made in the past, but somehow can't let you carry 3 years of good work to another platform. how does that even make sense? i don't know what led to this person's account being blocked, but there's a bigger problem here that we really need to talk about. why should someone's professional reputation belong entirely to a marketplace? you did the work. you satisfied the clients. you earned those reviews. why should you have to start proving yourself from zero because you're moving somewhere else? this is one of the problems we're trying to solve with @karwanBuild. we're building towards a world where your reputation follows you, your agent can help you find opportunities across marketplaces, and you can bring your deals into a protected payment agreement without starting from scratch. we're not there yet, but that's the direction. because losing access to a platform shouldn't mean losing the proof of everything you've worked for. really hope this person finds another opportunity soon.

We gave the 10 strongest AI models real money. Seven of them got scammed. The best wasted $25–38 of every $100. The worst wasted nearly $71. This is not an intelligence problem. It is a financial control problem. Everyone is talking about how agents can get work done. Almost no one is seriously asking whether they can be trusted to spend money. Once an agent can pay for things on its own—buying data, calling tools, subscribing to services, executing transactions—the rules change completely. It is no longer just getting an answer wrong. It can lose real money. Capability is not the same as safety. Intelligence is not the same as financial discipline. Full results and public examples: agentmoneybench.com
We gave 10 frontier AI models wallets with money. 7 got scammed at least once. The best wasted $25 of every $100. The worst wasted $71. Agent Money Benchmark tests whether AI agents can be trusted with real money. We evaluated 10 frontier models across two settings, using real USDC payments on @solana : → Financial Research: Agents buy live data from real providers to answer open-ended financial questions (prediction markets, wallet analysis, DeFi yields, etc.). → Adversarial Marketplace: Agents buy data from simulated sellers, some of whom cheat. The tasks test whether agents can avoid payment traps, stay within budget, and complete transactions without being exploited. Key results: → Give an agent $100 and the best tier wastes $25–38 of it. The weakest tier wastes $56–71. → 7 of 10 models paid a cheating seller at least once, and 6 paid twice for the same data. → Only 4 of 10 models made no money errors. → No model gets more than half of the research questions right. GPT-6.1 Sol led at 50%, at $0.468 per question. Explore the full results → agentmoneybench.com/

At our @Arc Studio meetup in Abuja, we brought together developers to build, debug and deploy on @arc with Arc Studio. We spotlighted early builders including the teams from @karwanBuild, @OwegoApp, and Split. We also shared practical insights for builders and founders to gain market traction and user retention. Beyond the conversations and technical discussions, I left this meetup even more excited about what developers can build when the barriers to getting started are removed. Keep building on @Arc and get started with Arc Studio.

We Love the @arc Community
today was really an insightful one for me. got the opportunity to pitch @karwanBuild at the arc abuja meetup today, share what we’re building and learn from some amazing people in the ecosystem. one of the highlights for me was finally meeting @bloomstarbms. i’ve followed and learned from him since his airdrop onboarding series back in 2022. getting to listen to him speak and finally connect with him in person after all these years was really a full-circle moment. also got to listen to amazing builders like @wysrenee and @btcmonie building on arc. honestly, i learned quite a lot today, especially around product development, understanding users and what it really takes to build something valuable. a big thank you to our country lead @JerryOjumah for putting this together and giving builders like us the opportunity to share what we’re working on, learn and connect with people doing great things in the space. came to pitch karwan, left with new knowledge, great connections and even more motivation to keep building. i love building on arc. 💚 we keep building!

Imagine designing a $150 logo for someone abroad. You fear delivering without payment. The buyer fears paying without receiving the work. @karwanBuild aims to solve this through agreements and escrow payments using USDC on the @arc blockchain

gm ct and happy sunday! really excited to have participated in the @ETHGlobal hackathon. i’ve always been a fan of ETHGlobal, and one thing i particularly appreciate is how well organized their events are, especially the asynchronous judging process. it gives builders room to focus on what matters: building and showing their work. grateful for the experience, the learning, and everyone who made it happen. looking forward to more wins as we keep building @karwanBuild. a quick reminder of what we’re working on: karwan is building a trust layer for online and cross-border trade on Arc. we want buyers to find sellers, sellers to find buyers, and both sides to verify who they’re dealing with before committing their money. we’re bringing together portable on-chain reputation, AI agents that can evaluate deal histories and verify past reputations, and USDC escrow to make that possible. there’s still plenty of work ahead, but we’re making progress, one working piece at a time. onwards!

Karwan now checks delivered work with Chainlink CRE. A seller delivers code. A @chainlink CRE workflow reruns the tests both sides agreed at setup on that exact commit and writes pass or fail to the escrow on Arc. Built and run in the CRE simulator. github.com/Iziedking/Karwan/…
