Arc Agent Factory — Layer 8

One-click agent deployment across the full 8-layer Arc agentic commerce stack.

What It Does

AgentFactory lets anyone deploy a fully configured AI agent in a single transaction:

1. Mints ERC-8004 identity (Layer 1) — registers the agent on-chain with name + metadata
2. Lists on AgentMarket (Layer 3) — optional marketplace listing with hourly rate + capabilities
3. Creates retainer plan (Layer 5) — optional recurring USDC subscription plan
4. Stakes USDC collateral (Layer 6) — optional quality guarantee deposit

Plus a template registry for common agent archetypes — one-click deploy a "Freelance Dev", "Content Creator", or "Security Auditor" without configuring each layer manually.

Key Functions

Agent Deployment

// Deploy with full custom config
function deployAgent(DeployConfig calldata config) external returns (uint256 agentTokenId);

// Deploy from a pre-built template
function deployFromTemplate(
    uint256 templateId,
    string calldata name,
    string calldata metadataURI,
    bool enableMarket,
    bool enableRetainer,
    bool enableStaking
) external returns (uint256 agentTokenId);

Template Management

// Create a reusable agent template
function createTemplate(TemplateConfig calldata config) external returns (uint256 templateId);

// Update or deactivate templates
function updateTemplate(uint256 templateId, TemplateConfig calldata config) external;
function deactivateTemplate(uint256 templateId) external;

Views

// Cross-layer agent profile
function getAgentProfile(uint256 agentTokenId) external view returns (
    string memory name, uint256 reputation, bool isListed,
    uint256 hourlyRate, uint256 stakeAmount, uint256 retainerPlanId
);

// Factory stats
function getFactoryStats() external view returns (
    uint256 totalAgentsDeployed, uint256 totalTemplates, uint256 totalActiveTemplates
);

Architecture

User calls deployAgent(config)
    │
    ├── 1. identity.registerAgent(name, metadataURI)  →  ERC-8004 minted
    │
    ├── 2. market.listAgent(tokenId, rate, caps)       →  Listed on marketplace
    │
    ├── 3. retainer.createPlan(tokenId, price, interval, desc)  →  Subscription plan
    │
    ├── 4. usdc.transferFrom → staking.stake(tokenId, amount)  →  Collateral locked
    │
    └── 5. identity.transferAgent(factory → user)      →  Ownership transferred

Stack

• Frontend: 3 pages in arc-agent-hub (/factory, /factory/templates, /factory/[agentId])

Deployment History

Version	Date	Notes
V1	2026-06-05	Initial deploy — failed because Identity V1 had no transfer function
V2	2026-06-05	Identity V2 (transferAgent) + Factory V2 — e2e tests passing
V3	2026-06-05	Full stack redeploy — all 8 layers pointing to Identity V2

Scripts

• scripts/deploy.py — compile + deploy Factory to Arc Testnet
• scripts/e2e_test.py — 7 on-chain tests (template, deploy, profile, stats)
• scripts/redeploy/deploy_v2.py — deploy Identity V2 + Factory V2
• scripts/redeploy/redeploy_all.py — full 8-layer redeploy from GitHub sources
• scripts/redeploy/AgentIdentityV2.sol — Identity with transferAgent + approve
