Spline · x402

Turn motion design into a liquid asset. 'Spline' allows creators to publish keyframe animations behind a 0.01 USDC unlock. Feedback isn't just a comment; it's a paid ‘mark-up’ that rewards the creator. Motion designers get paid for every view/scrub, fueling a high-velocity library for professional animators.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the motion design 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 shifting the model from 'free-to-view' to 'pay-per-scrub/unlock,' we eliminate low-effort feedback and provide a direct revenue stream for artists. The x402 protocol ensures that even a tiny micro-interaction (like downloading a JSON Lottie file) is monetized instantly.
