STANCE · x402

A metered verification protocol for dance mastery. Dancers pay 0.01 USDC to submit a motion-recorded skill attempted via camera or wearable sensor. Upon successful algorithmic validation, a permanent on-chain achievement is minted to their Magic Link email sign-in. Payment acts as the 'exam fee' for verifiable proof of work, preventing badge sybils and spamming milestones.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the achievement tracking 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 'unlocks' are passive; x402 turns achievement tracking into an active, high-integrity transaction. By charging per verification attempt, the system creates a genuine 'proof of effort' economy where a badge represents a specific, paid-for audit of skill rather than a free data point.

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.
