KENTE-SOURCE · x402

A high-definition patterns library where designers pay 0.01 USDC to unlock the vector source of authentic cultural weaves. Every 'view-full-res' call executes an on-chain royalty micropayment directly to the verified communal craft guild or artisan, creating a traceable, paid provenance for industrial textile reproduction.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the cultural textiles 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 primitiveTraditional NFT minting is too high-friction for design iterations. x402 enables 'pay-per-use' design inspiration, turning cultural preservation into a recurring micro-revenue stream for the original weavers.
