FrameDrop · x402

A high-fidelity animation repository where viewing is a transaction. Creators upload raw clips; users pay $0.01 per high-res view or metadata scrape. Every 'share' is a signed HTS transfer intent, allowing animation enthusiasts and AI video-trainers to buy authenticated frames directly from the artist's wallet. Pay-per-frame consumption replaces ad-supported hosting.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the clip sharing 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 making the clip view the payment event, we eliminate the need for subscriptions or platform-wide ads. The $0.01 price point turns social viewing into a direct revenue stream for animators, while the Hedera transaction id serves as an immutable proof of digital ownership/access.
