How it works
Acme Travel looks like any travel site. The difference is what travels with each booking: a record of what was agreed, sealed into the payment on Arc, verifiable by anyone. The narrator window explains each page as you go, in business words or technical ones.
Agree
When your agent books, the seller writes a record of exactly what is being bought and on what terms: room, dates, price, cancellation timeline. The record gets a fingerprint, a SHA-256 hash of its exact bytes.
Pay on Arc
The payment is USDC on Arc, Circle’s blockchain. The record’s fingerprint is sealed inside the payment itself, so the money and the terms can never be separated. Final in under a second.
Verify, anyone
A buyer, a seller, an auditor or an arbitrator can fetch the record, recompute the fingerprint and check it against the chain. No account, no permission from Acme. If anything is disputed, the record settles it.
The tour
Fourteen chapters. Eleven are live today; the rest arrive over the coming days.
Agent-to-agent negotiation
A buying agent names its price and shifts dates for a better one; the seller’s agent answers; every round is written into the record.
A dispute, settled by the record
A charge is contested. The record, not either side’s memory, says what was agreed, and the case closes in minutes.
Finance export
Every settled booking exported as an accounting feed, each line pointing at its record and its transaction on Arc.
