STANCE · x402

A high-frequency commerce protocol where digital choreography patterns and outfit presets are metered. Every time a dancer 'rehearses' or previews a 3D wearable in an AR mirror, a 0.01 USDC micropayment settles to the creator. No storefront clutter—just pay-per-view patterns and pay-per-wear digital textures.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the digital commerce 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 primitiveShifts from high-friction NFT sales to low-friction utility. By charging 0.01 USDC per 'try-on' or 'step-unlock,' it captures value from browsing behavior, not just final sales.

movement attribution
GLIDE · x402
A movement-fingerprinting engine where choreographers monetize their 'signature' steps. Developers and AI animators pay $0.01 USDC to query the ledger to verify a sequence's provenance or license a loop for digital reconstruction. Every API call generates a micro-royalty for the original dancer, turning movement data into a liquid asset class.
event access control
FloorTime · x402
Replace static ticketing with millisecond-exact event access. Dancers and spectators pay 0.01 USDC per minute or per routine-unlock via x402 stream. Facilitators verify real-time residency in the 'Step-Zone', settling micro-dues to choreographers. No more lump-sum fraud; pay only for the heat you witness.
incentive tokenization
PRIMA · x402
A motion-capture validation engine that unlocks micro-payouts for precision. Dancers sign a 0.01 USDC HTS transfer intent to 'Check-In' or 'Verify Sequence'. Instead of vague rewards, students pay a cent to have their form verified by an AI-choreographer, which then triggers a facilitator-settled rebate or 'bounty' back to their wallet upon success. Payment is the proof-of-work for the movement.
