💃 Dance & Choreography · creative lineage

KINETIC · x402

A protocol for pay-per-credit dance education where choreographers receive 0.01 USDC every time a user unlocks a step or views the 'Original Sequence' metadata. x402 settles the micro-royalty instantly, allowing students to map their stylistic lineage by micro-paying for the 'source' of their inspiration. The payment is the proof-of-influence.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the creative lineage 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 primitiveTransforms attribution from a passive label to an active micro-transaction. By making the lineage gated by a 1-cent fee, it creates a high-velocity revenue stream for original creators while providing an immutable 'on-chain receipt' for the student's creative heritage.
