How FlowBroker works

Every step, every payment, every decision.

The payment flow

From quiz to Uniswap trade in 10 steps

01

Complete your risk profile quiz

Answer 5 questions to determine your investment style — conservative to alpha

02

Choose your broker agent

Get matched to one of 8 brokers (Guardian to Titan), each with different intelligence providers and trading strategies

03

Deposit USDC on Arc Testnet

Connect your wallet and deposit USDC to activate your broker agent

04

Chainlink CRE orchestrates the agents

CRE runs continuously: Health Monitor pings agents every 5 min, Dynamic Pricing fetches ETH/USD and updates provider prices via ENS every 30 min, Settlement Monitor tracks Circle Gateway batches

05

Broker buys intelligence via x402 nanopayments

Your broker pays 10 specialized providers per call — market data ($0.000002), sentiment ($0.0003), AI analysis ($0.015). All gas-free via Circle Gateway. Prices come from ENS, set by CRE

06

Providers return financial intelligence

Market prices, sentiment scores, chart patterns, risk calculations, portfolio optimization — each provider returns specialized data

07

Broker aggregates signals and decides

Every 5 intelligence calls, broker runs a risk check. If all signals align — BUY. If not — HOLD. Different brokers have different risk thresholds

08

Trade executed on Uniswap

On BUY signal, broker calls Uniswap Trading API on Sepolia — gets a quote, builds the swap, signs and broadcasts. Conservative brokers swap ETH→USDC, aggressive brokers swap ETH→UNI

09

Everything verifiable on-chain

x402 payments batched by Circle Gateway on Arc. Uniswap trades on Sepolia Etherscan. Agent prices on ENS (flowbroker.eth). All with real transaction hashes

10

Dashboard shows everything live

Real-time flow visualization, payment feed, broker decisions with AI reasoning, Uniswap trade history, and CRE workflow logs — all updating via WebSocket

The technology

Built on three pillars of decentralized infrastructure

Why Arc — the only rail that works

Stripe minimum: $0.30 per transaction. Our payments: $0.000002. Stripe would charge 150× the payment value. Ethereum gas exceeds the payment amount. Arc is the only infrastructure where sub-cent agent payments are economically viable.

Why Chainlink CRE — decentralized orchestration

We run three workflows: Agent health monitoring — detects failed intelligence services and reroutes. Dynamic pricing — updates ENS text records with market rates. Batch settlement — collapses thousands of micropayments into one transaction.

Why ENS — config and discovery layer

Every intelligence service has an ENS name. Pricing lives in text records — change a price, all agents react instantly without redeploy. Agents discover services by resolving ENS names, not hardcoded URLs. Your broker has an ENS identity with its strategy and track record on-chain.
