Hackathon demo and evidence
A checked end-to-end rehearsal, with honest testnet and traction boundaries.
Intent, confirmation, evidence.
Mercenta's submission scenario connects a bounded commerce proposal, a checked Circle payment and profit-allocation evidence. Digital goods remain simulated; testnet USDC transfers are real test transfers.
Rehearse the flow
- Sign in with the designated owner wallet. Do not paste private keys into the agent.
- Ask
Plan a creator purchase under 2 USDC. Review the budget, pinned quote and policy checks in Guided Demo. A message alone does not purchase. - Ask
Prepare a paid margin report. The agent prepares a quote for the Mercenta-owned x402 demo service at 0.001000 test USDC. Exact amount/recipient confirmation is separate. - Inspect the returned report and payment evidence. Gateway acceptance is not final Arc settlement. Reconcile the original authorization; do not create a replacement payment to retry.
- Use a separately verified buyer transfer for sale-linked Profit First. Funding the account is not a sale. Contract allocation requires owner wallet signatures.
- Show retry/restart tests as mocks, unless the same behavior was actually recorded against a live payment.
The report is a scenario, not revenue
The fixed example uses declared gross 2.000000 USDC, procurement cost 1.532000, other assumed fees 0.005000 and report fee 0.001000. Allocatable margin is 0.462000; a 10% profit allocation would be 0.046200.
Buying this calculation does not purchase a supplier product, prove a customer sale or create investment yield. The service is operated by Mercenta; internal demo activity is not external adoption.
Evidence checklist
- Public source repository and a recording under three minutes.
- Deployed app and documentation links.
- Exact transaction IDs and payment evidence; pending versus final clearly labelled.
- Test results for duplicate confirmation, disk restart, stale quote, wrong actor and insufficient funds.
- Actual business/pilot counts and value moved, separated from project-owner test funding.
- No secrets in git/history, recordings or browser payloads.
Live Earn, mainnet funds and real supplier fulfillment are outside this demo. Credentials previously disclosed in chat must be rotated before a production/mainnet launch.
