💃 Dance & Choreography · creator incentives

8Count · x402

A metered choreography engine where dancers pay $0.01 USDC to unlock the next 8-count of a viral routine. This eliminates 'freebooting' by turning dance steps into micro-assets. The choreographer receives instant settlement for every 'Learn Next' click, while the x402 wrapper handles the gasless signature via the embedded wallet. No subscriptions—just pay for the moves you actually practice.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the creator incentives engine is metered with x402: 0.01 HBAR or 0.01 HTS USDC per call, paid from the embedded wallet, so choreographers — or the agents working for them — pay per query and get a HashScan receipt every time.

Why this primitiveCurrent creator platforms aggregate value at the top; x402 enables granular monetization of the movement itself. By making payment the trigger for content delivery, we turn choreography into a high-frequency micro-transaction utility.
