RigCheck · x402

Pay-per-frame verification for technical animation mastery. Animators pay 0.01 USDC to trigger an automated rig-check and edge-flow audit. Success mints a non-transferable skill-sig directly to their Base wallet. Studios pay per-lookup to query a creator's real-time competence ledger. No monthly subs, just pay for the proof you need to land the gig.

The primitive.

full primer →

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

Why this primitiveMoving away from 'free badges' to 'paid proof' creates a sybil-resistant certification layer. The x402 model turns the validation process into a micro-service where the cost of verification is offloaded to the user or his future employer, ensuring only serious craft is on-chain.

frame provenance
IMPRINT · x402
