CaratCast · x402

A high-resolution jewelry blueprint vault for independent jewelers and boutique jewelers. Users sign a 0.01 USDC HTS transfer authorization to unlock one-time access to technical CAD files, high-fidelity renders, or material sourcing sheets. Pay-per-view provenance records allow buyers to verify the exact metallurgical history and artisan trail of a piece on-chain, eliminating the friction of full NFT sales for simple design inspiration or technical reference.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the jewelry design engine is metered with x402: 0.01 HBAR or 0.01 HTS USDC per call, paid from the embedded wallet, so fashion designers — or the agents working for them — pay per query and get a HashScan receipt every time.

Why this primitiveCurrent jewelry archives are locked behind expensive enterprise subscriptions or 'all-or-nothing' NFT sales. This reframes archival exploration as a micro-metered utility, where paying pennies per design-view creates a high-volume revenue stream for designers while protecting IP from bulk scraping.
