Pay 0.01 USDC to 'Flash-Greenlight' animation pitches. Instead of long-tail fundraising, creators monetize the pitch deck itself through micro-stakes feedback and voting. Investors pay a micropayment to reveal high-fidelity storyboards, while creators pay to push their pitch to the front of a global curator queue. Every 'Like' is a settlement, every 'Peer Review' is a transaction. Validates market demand before a single frame is rendered.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the project pitching 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 primitiveTraditional crowdfunding is high-friction ($10+ minimums). AnimPitch converts attention into instant equity micro-budgeting. By making the pitch the product, creators earn a living wage through the curation phase, and investors filter signal from noise via skin-in-the-game micropayments.
