MasterKey · x402

$0.01 — Design, commit, and fork film-ready prop schematics. Every version history write to IPFS and every 'inspect' of high-fidelity files requires a micropayment. Directors pay to unlock the master file, while contributors earn a stream of USDC for every iteration referenced in the production pipeline.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the prop design collaboration 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 primitiveTraditional asset management is a lump-sum subscription model. This reframes prop design as a granular, pay-per-interaction ledger. By metering 'v-history' lookups and 'forking' actions, the app ensures that the original designer is compensated for every step of the creative evolution.

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.
