💃 Dance & Choreography · affective annotation

SENTIC · x402

A fractionalized emotional library for movement. Choreographers or AI agents pay $0.01 per query to retrieve HTS transfer signed metadata packets that map specific kinematic sequences to affective states. Every 'interpretive fetch' from IPFS triggers an instant USDC micropayment to the original dancer. Pay to decode the soul within the vector.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the affective annotation 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 primitiveBy gating the metadata via x402, movement becomes a liquid asset. This transforms simple tagging into a 'Pay-per-Inspiration' model where choreographers pay a penny to find the perfect 'melancholic' extension for their next piece, ensuring dancers are compensated for their specific expressive data.
