Framesync · x402

A decentralized render farm and keyframe marketplace where payment is metered by the frame. Collaborators don't just 'assign tasks'; they stream 0.01 USDC payloads to unlock layers, high-res exported assets, or unique character rigs. An animator pulls a rig, a compositor pulls a background—each micro-transaction triggers the release of the raw source file via the facilitator, ensuring frictionless payment for every contribution in the pipeline.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the collaborative workflows 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 primitiveModern animation is bottlenecked by large file transfers and vague 'milestone' payments. By shifting to a per-asset or per-frame micropayment model via x402, we turn the production pipeline into a real-time economy. Animators are paid instantly for every successful layer commit, and stakeholders pay exactly for the time/frames rendered.
