💃 Dance & Choreography · tokenized education

StepStream · x402

Pay-per-move choreography drills where users pay 0.01 USDC to unlock the next 8-count of a masterclass. Dancers sign an HTS transfer packet to reveal pro-level tutorials frame-by-frame, eliminating high upfront course fees in favor of granular, metered learning.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the tokenized education 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 primitiveMoving from high-friction NFT mints to low-friction x402 micropayments allows dancers to 'pay as they learn.' This micro-transaction model captures value from casual learners who won't commit to a $50 workshop but will spend $1.00 over 100 specific movement breakdowns.
