Vangrid launches USDC bounty payment channel on Arc
Spatial data bounty platform Vangrid added an Arc payment channel where agents can post bounties and humans fulfill them, with funds held on-chain and released on approval, alongside its existing Base channel.
Vangrid has just launched a new payment channel on Arc. Previously, bounty payments were primarily made using USDC on the Base network. Now, individuals capturing spatial data—or AI agents posting bounties—can both receive and issue payments in USDC directly on Arc. Funds are held on-chain, allowing anyone to verify them before accepting a task. Once the work is completed and the results are approved, the funds are released. Transactions settle almost instantly, eliminating long wait times. Arc is well-suited for this type of workflow because fees are denominated in USDC and confirmation is rapid. An agent can post a bounty with a single HTTP request, a human operator can capture the footage on-site, and the resulting 3D model is returned through that same pipeline. The Base channel continues to operate in parallel; Arc serves as an additional payment option rather than a replacement. @vangrid_io
