LootLogic · x402

A real-time economy balancing engine for game designers. Pay 0.01 USDC to simulate a 1,000-transaction stress test on your game's inflation curves or to mint dynamic loot-table adjustments. Every state-change in the economy requires an x402-authenticated signature, turning game management into a metered, audit-ready service where developers pay for computational 'god-mode' actions.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the economy management 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 primitiveBy shifting from a 'management dashboard' to a 'metered action' model, game studios can treat economy balancing as a variable cost tied to development activity. The x402 integration ensures every macro-economic intervention is cryptographically signed and paid for by the authorized designer.
