Kinetix · x402

A micro-bounty protocol for technical directors. Instead of 'milestone' promises, animators authorize 0.01 USDC per frame to unlock high-fidelity motion data or compute-heavy physics simulations. Producers pay per keyframe approved, and freelancers pay per asset-pack rig check. It transforms the feedback loop into a high-velocity stream of micro-settlements, ensuring every clean-up pass is paid for in real-time.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the performance incentives 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 primitiveIn animation, 'scope creep' happens in the seconds between milestones. By pricing the performance at the frame or 'rig-unlock' level, we turn creative labor into a metered utility, eliminating the friction of invoicing for minor iterations.
