The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the authenticity verification 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 primitiveIn the digital age, choreography is frequently stolen without credit. By shifting from 'gasless' to 'micro-paid,' we introduce a low-friction economic cost to claiming ownership, creating a high-integrity registry where every lookup and verification generates revenue for the protocol and the artist.
