💃 Dance & Choreography · choreography licensing

StepFlow · x402

A pay-per-view choreography protocol where dancers pay $0.01 USDC to unlock tutorial frames or mirror a sequence. Each 'step' in a routine is metered via x402, ensuring choreographers are paid instantly for every rehearsal session or social media sync, replacing clunky upfront licenses with granular, per-use streaming royalties.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the choreography licensing 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 primitiveChoreography licensing is currently broken by manual outreach. By shifting to a pay-per-loop or pay-per-rehearsal model, creators capture value from the high-frequency 'practice' phase, not just the final performance. Fractionalizing the license into $0.01 micro-beats lowers the barrier for viral adoption while automating attribution.

MoveMark Licensing

License choreography sequences securely as NFTs to streamline usage tracking and payments.

movement attribution

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

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.
