KINETIC · x402

$0.01 — Mirror movement via motion-capture API. A smart contract registry for choreographic atoms. When a creator or brand uses a signature sequence in a commercial video or digital avatar, the app validates the likeness and triggers a micropayment to the original choreographer. Pay-per-frame attestation for viral dance rights.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the usage rights 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 copyright fails choreography due to high legal friction. x402 converts legal 'rights' into technical 'access.' By metering the usage of a specific sequence, brands can programmatically clear rights for pennies per view, creating the first scalable royalty stream for movement designers.

Movement Royalty Tracker

Automatically track and reward choreographers when their moves get used commercially.

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.
