VeriStitch · x402

A cryptographic provenance layer for high-end accessories. Brands embed encrypted NFC tags; users pay 0.01 USDC to instantly verify authenticity via an HTS transfer signed call. Each scan triggers a signed transaction that updates the item's 'last-seen' status on Hedera, creating a tamper-proof chain of custody without friction or gas-stress. Pay-per-scan eliminates subscription barriers for second-hand verification.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the accessory authentication 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 primitiveLegacy authentication relies on expensive appraisals or static certificates. By making the 'verification' a high-frequency, low-cost micropayment, we turn fashion items into active data-producing nodes. Brands earn a stream from secondary market activity (validation fees), and buyers gain instant certainty for a cent.
