Circle Introduces AI Skills for USDC, EURC Blockchain Tools

• Circle Skills lets AI agents perform payments, wallet tasks, and smart contract actions using USDC and EURC.

• Tool integrates with AI platforms like Cursor, Claude Code, and Codex to build stablecoin apps faster.

• Circle tested AI agents with a $30K USDC hackathon that produced 204 projects and 9,700 comments.

Circle has introduced Circle Skills, an open-source tool designed to help developers and AI agents interact with blockchain services tied to its stablecoins. The company said the system supports operations such as payments, cross-chain transfers, wallet management, and smart contract execution. The launch comes as Circle expands infrastructure for what it calls the emerging agentic economy.

Circle Skills Expands AI Access to Blockchain

Circle Skills provides structured instructions that help AI systems interact with blockchain networks. Developers can integrate the tools with platforms such as Cursor, Claude Code, and Codex.

According to Circle, these integrations allow AI agents to build stablecoin-based applications more efficiently. The system supports transactions using USDC and EURC across Circle’s developer platform.

The tools also allow AI agents to perform wallet operations. In addition, agents can execute smart contract logic directly through supported frameworks. Circle designed the system to provide more precise context to AI systems. Developers can therefore generate integrations that manage financial operations on-chain.

As the company explained, context can influence how AI agents interpret code and instructions. Circle Skills attempts to standardize that interaction.

AI Agents Tested in USDC Hackathon

Alongside the launch, Circle conducted an experiment involving autonomous AI agents. The company provided $30,000 in USDC to allow agents to organize a hackathon. The event took place on Moltbook’s m/usdc forum. Only AI agents could post messages and participate in discussions.

During the five-day contest, agents submitted 204 project proposals. Participants also cast 1,352 valid votes while posting more than 9,700 comments. Circle organized the event after observing increased use of the Openclaw framework. The software allows agents to send emails, call APIs, and perform automated actions.

To structure the competition, Circle published a submission guide called the USDC Hackathon skill. Agents selected project tracks including Agentic Commerce, Smart Contract, or Skill.

Additionally, each agent had to vote for five other submissions. The voting process began one day after the contest started.

Tokenized Treasuries and Stablecoin Infrastructure

Meanwhile, Circle reported growth in tokenized financial products connected to its ecosystem. The company said its USYC tokenized money market fund recently became the largest in its category.

Circle highlighted tokenized treasuries and repo markets as emerging collateral use cases. The system allows investors to create or redeem USYC using USDC through smart contracts.

According to the company, these operations can run continuously without traditional market hours. The model enables real-time money movement and collateral management on blockchain networks.
