InkLog · x402

A metered storyboard engine where every frame-sketch and revision requires a 0.01 USDC micro-settlement to anchor provenance. Instead of a single bulk mint, creators pay-per-save to build a cryptographically verifiable 'paper trail' of authorship. Directors and studios can buy 'Review Keys' to unlock specific sequences, ensuring artists are paid for every eyes-on glance at their proprietary IP. Pre-visualize with proof.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the storyboard provenance 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 primitivex402 transforms provenance from a static badge into an active audit log. By charging per-frame entry and per-sequence view, it prevents IP theft during the pitch phase and ensures animators are compensated for the 'process' rather than just the final output.

frame provenance
IMPRINT · x402
A frame-by-frame provenance layer where animators pay-per-seal to cryptographically anchor work-in-progress frames to Base. Studios and agencies pay-per-verify (0.01 USDC) to audit the derivation path of any asset, ensuring zero unauthorized AI-injection or frame-snatching. Proof of authorship is now a metered utility.
script rights tracking
ScriptMint · x402
Turn screenplays into metered assets. Producers pay $0.01 per page-read via HTS transfer, with instant USDC settlement to the writer. Unlock high-resolution downloads or character bibles for a micro-fee. Every access event is an on-chain receipt, creating an immutable paper trail of who has read the script and when—eliminating 'idea theft' disputes while providing writers with instant, granular revenue.
crowd animation funding
DirectorSign · x402
Turn animation production into a real-time meritocracy. Animators upload character design variants or storyboard beats behind x402 gates. Supporters don't just 'vote'; they pay 0.01 USDC to unlock and sign off on specific creative directions. Each micropayment is a granular vote of confidence that instantly streams to the production wallet, enabling frame-by-frame funding where every creative pivot is validated by the crowd's capital.
