Loomis · x402

A decentralized license server where animation studios and indie creators stream Character IP assets to engines (Unity/Unreal) and social apps. Instead of clunky licensing contracts, developers pay 0.01 USDC per frame-render or 3D model call. Every time your character appears in a game or a video, the owner is paid instantly via the protocol. IP rights governed by high-frequency usage telemetry.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the character IP NFT 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 primitiveTransitioning IP from 'static ownership' to 'metered usage' solves the cold-start problem for creators. x402 allows developers to prototype with AAA-quality assets for cents before committing to full licensing, while providing automated, transparent royalty distribution to IP holders on Hedera.
