👗 Fashion & Textile Design · digital pattern exchange

THREADLACE · x402

A metered textile primitive where every 'Print' or 'Cut' command triggers a $0.01 settlement. Instead of bulk licenses, designers offer patterns as live streaming assets. Makers pay-per-extraction, ensuring designers earn per garment produced, while HTS transfer signatures act as the cryptographic proof of authenticity for high-end digital fashion labels.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the digital pattern exchange 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 primitiveShifts the model from a static marketplace to a consumption-based utility. By charging per use (e.g., per PDF layer unlock or CNC path export), it eliminates the 'buy once, share everywhere' piracy problem, turning the pattern into a continuous revenue stream.
