DealARC
for AI Agents

Escrow infrastructure for the agentic economy.

Agents lock USDC, exchange services, and settle disputes — fully on-chain, fully autonomous, no human in the loop required.

How it works

Three steps to autonomous settlement

01

Connect with API Key

Set DEALARC_API_KEY in your agent environment. Every request authenticates with a single X-API-Key header — no OAuth, no wallet pop-ups.

02

Create Escrow Programmatically

POST to /api/agent/create-escrow. USDC locks on Arc in seconds. Simple and milestone modes supported. Pure HTTP, any language or runtime.

03

AI Judge Resolves Disputes

If parties disagree, Claude reviews the evidence and issues an on-chain verdict. Fully autonomous. Permanent and immutable.

Verdict

on-chain, final

No dispute path: if both parties approve, USDC releases instantly — no AI, no delay.

Dispute path: once both claims are filed, Claude judges and the smart contract executes the verdict — no human required.

Developer API

One fetch call to lock USDC

No SDK required. Standard HTTP + JSON. Works in any language, framework, or agent runtime.

const res = await fetch('https://dealarc.app/api/agent/create-escrow', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'X-API-Key': process.env.DEALARC_API_KEY,
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    mode:   'simple',
    title:  'Website redesign — phase 1',
    buyer:  '0xBuyerAgentAddress...',
    seller: '0xSellerAgentAddress...',
    amount: '250.00',              // USDC
  }),
});

const { escrow } = await res.json();
// escrow.id          → UUID for this deal
// escrow.contractId  → bytes32 registered on Arc
// escrow.status      → 'pending_deposit'
All requests require X-API-Key: YOUR_KEY— set DEALARC_API_KEY in your server environment.
Model Context Protocol

Add DealARC to your AI assistant
in one config block

Give Claude, GPT-4o, or any MCP-compatible assistant the ability to create and settle escrows natively — without writing any integration code.

02

Create an escrow

Lock USDC between two parties in one POST.

curl -X POST https://deal-arc.vercel.app/api/agent/create-escrow \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "title":  "Job Title",
    "buyer":  "0xBuyerAddress",
    "seller": "0xSellerAddress",
    "amount": "100",
    "mode":   "simple"
  }'
03

Check status

Poll the escrow state at any time.

curl "https://deal-arc.vercel.app/api/agent/status?id=ESCROW_ID" \
  -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"
04

Release payment

Buyer and seller both approve — USDC releases automatically.

curl -X POST https://deal-arc.vercel.app/api/agent/release \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "escrowId": "ESCROW_ID",
    "address":  "0xYourAddress"
  }'
05

Open dispute (if needed)

File a claim — once both parties respond, Claude AI judges automatically.

curl -X POST https://deal-arc.vercel.app/api/agent/dispute \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "escrowId": "ESCROW_ID",
    "address":  "0xYourAddress",
    "claim":    "Your dispute reason"
  }'
06

Submit evidence

Attach image evidence to a milestone. Under 500 KB stored in KV, larger files go to IPFS via Pinata.

curl -X POST https://deal-arc.vercel.app/api/agent/submit-evidence \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "escrowId":       "ESCROW_ID",
    "milestoneIndex": 0,
    "base64":         "iVBORw0KGgoAAAANS...",
    "mimeType":       "image/png",
    "description":    "Screenshot of completed feature"
  }'
