PropFlow · x402

Prop-designers sell usage-rights to film studios and indies via 0.01 USDC 'Prop-Unlocks.' Every time a 3D asset is pulled into a scene, a micropayment settles on-chain. This creates a real-time royalty stream for digital prop houses and ensures clear chain-of-title for virtual production.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the prop asset management 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 primitiveBy shifting from static IPFS pinning to a pay-per-pull x402 model, we turn prop assets into metered APIs. Studios no longer need lump-sum licensing; they pay only for the props they actually render, while creators receive instant liquidity.
