Kinetic Roots · x402

A liquid library of human movement where every frame of heritage is gated by a 0.01 USDC micro-settlement. Users sign via the embedded wallet to unlock high-fidelity performance archives, while the x402 primitive distributes sub-cents directly to the originating cultural conservancy or local estate. Pay-per-view preservation that turns a static archive into a streaming revenue stream for global dance history.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the dance heritage preservation 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 primitiveTransitioning from a static 'donation' model to a high-velocity 'metered access' model ensures the archive's longevity. By using x402, we remove the friction of subscriptions, allowing casual researchers and AI training models to pay only for the specific choreography data they consume.

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.
