RAIDPAD · x402

A streaming overlay that flips the reward model: viewers pay 0.01 USDC to 'Proof-of-Cheer' in real-time. These micro-payments flow directly to the streamer's signature-authorized wallet, bypassing platform cuts. In exchange, the stream metadata triggers instant x402-gated interactive events (boss spawns, map changes, weapon drops) visible to all, but authored by the payer.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the viewer incentives engine is metered with x402: 0.01 HBAR or 0.01 HTS USDC per call, paid from the embedded wallet, so game designers — or the agents working for them — pay per query and get a HashScan receipt every time.

Why this primitiveMoving from 'gasless rewards' (a cost to the creator) to 'micro-transaction engagement' (a revenue stream). By using x402, the viewer authorizes a tiny payment via the embedded wallet that settled on Hedera, making every 'cheer' a sub-cent on-chain event that actually alters the game state.
