GhostFrame · x402

Pay-per-commit versioning for 3D scenes. $0.01 USDC anchors a production-ready manifest to IPFS with a signed Hedera transaction id, creating an immutable audit trail of creative decisions. Instead of messy local files, animators pay a micro-fee to 'Lock & Sync' a state, allowing collaborators to instantly pull specific iterations via the ledger. No subscription, just pay for the frames you finalize.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the scene version control 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 turning the 'Save' action into a paid HTS transfer transaction, version control becomes a verifiable asset. It prevents data bloat by ensuring only meaningful iterations are recorded, while providing a permanent, non-repudiable history of a film's evolution for production audits.
