💃 Dance & Choreography · signature step NFTs

GhostRig · x402

A protocol for 'Step-Streaming.' Dancers lock signature choreography behind 0.01 USDC x402 calls. Fans pay to unlock a looping 3D ghost-rig (AR overlay) of the move to practice in real-time. Each payment flows directly to the creator's wallet, turning a viral TikTok move into a metered revenue stream.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the signature step NFTs 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 primitiveCurrent dance monetization relies on platform ad-rev or static NFTs. x402 enables 'pay-per-view' at the granular level of a single 8-count, making high-fidelity choreography instruction affordable for students and instantly liquid for dancers.

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.
