FLIPBOOK · x402

A high-fidelity digital sketchbook for animators where every page turn or 'onion-skin' layer toggle triggers a 0.01 USDC streaming payment to the artist. Instead of static NFTs, collectors pay to 'flip' through the creative process in real-time. Each stroke sequence is gated by an HTS transfer signature, allowing fans to micro-fund the labor-intensive act of hand-drawn animation as it happens. Payment settles the frame to the ledger, turning 'process' into a metered asset.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the animator sketchbooks 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 NFTs gate the final product; this gates the 'motion journey.' By making each frame or layer a micro-transaction, it creates a sustainable 'Pay-to-Peep' model for professional animators, turning their workflow into a live, revenue-generating stream.
