0.05 USDC — Attest the chain of custody for one high-fidelity VFX plate. Instead of monolithic licensing, producers pay per retrieval of metadata, mask, or render-pass via HTS transfer. Every time a VFX vendor pulls a master file or a supervisor signs off on a frame, the transaction is immutable and paid, ensuring the original artist is compensated for every touchpoint in the pipeline.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the visual effects 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 VFX 'provenance' is a passive log. x402 turns it into a metered access layer where the audit trail is a stream of micropayments, making the asset 'live' and revenue-generating for the artist throughout the post-production cycle.
