LoopTrace · x402

A micropayment primitive for verifying the lineage of looped assets. Every frame modification, layer tweak, or metadata update requires a 0.01 USDC x402 signature to write to the provenance log. This turns 'saving' into a permanent, paid attestation of creative labor, ensuring that when a loop goes viral, the forensic history is fully settled and immutable. Pay per state-sync to secure your IP at the source.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the loop animation tracking 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 gatekeeping the 'write' action (provenance) behind a 0.01 USDC micropayment, the app prevents spam while creating a high-fidelity audit trail. In professional animation workflows, paying fractions of a cent per save is a negligible cost for verifiable proof of original work in the age of generative AI.
