💃 Dance & Choreography · community building

8COUNT · x402

A peer-to-peer choreography marketplace where dancers pay a 0.01 USDC micro-fee to unlock 'The Set' (a 15-second lesson) or challenge a creator. Instead of passive scrolling, every view is a verified support transaction. Creators earn instant liquidity for every 'tap-to-learn', turning viral moments into a metered revenue stream. No gas, no subscriptions, just pay-per-groove.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the community building 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 primitiveTraditional social platforms offer 'exposure' while extracting value. By making the 'unlock' the core interaction via x402, we shift the community from passive followers to micro-patrons. Dancers get paid for their IP (the steps) instantly, and the friction of gas is replaced by a sub-cent payment that feels like a 'like'.
