Storyboard Ledger · x402

A 'Proof-of-Interest' marketplace for animation pilots. Studios and producers pay $0.05 USDC to decrypt and view a high-fidelity pitch deck or storyboard. The x402 transaction creates an on-chain receipt of viewing, establishing a legal paper trail of access that protects creator IP while filtering for serious inquiries. Every 'Slide Next' is a micro-transaction, ensuring creators are paid for the time spent reviewing their vision.

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 primitiveShifts from static NFT ownership to an active 'Pay-to-View' model. It solves the 'Hollywood Inbox' problem by requiring a micropayment to access intellectual property, turning every pitch into a revenue-generating event and a verifiable record of disclosure.
