StageCraft · x402

StageCraft turns spectators into active judges through real-time, micro-incentivized curation. Instead of free, sybil-vulnerable polls, every ballot is a $0.01 USDC transaction authorized via the embedded wallet. These paid votes create high-integrity 'Proof of Hype' data, which distributes instant performance bonuses to dancers' wallets directly from the smart contract pool. Curation isn't just a survey; it's a metered contribution to the prize purse.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the event curation 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 moving from free voting to x402-native micropayments ($0.01), we eliminate bot manipulation and create a direct financial link between audience appreciation and performer compensation. The friction-less HTS transfer flow ensures high participation without traditional gas hurdles.
