FrameRoot · x402

$0.01 — pay-per-frame-inject. A headless animation library where every loop import, metadata query, or high-res export is a micro-transaction. Instead of 'buying' a loop, developers and VJs stream payments directly to the animator's wallet via HTS transfer. Ideal for generative art engines that need to source human-made motion assets on-demand without hefty upfront licensing costs.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the animation loops 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 primitiveShifts animation from 'asset ownership' to 'usage utility.' By pricing at the call level, it allows AI-driven video editors to pull frames programmatically, ensuring the creator is paid for every single render cycle.
