SeedHash · x402

A pay-per-generation engine for procedural game assets. Instead of bulk-minting static NFTs, developers pay $0.01 USDC per seed execution. Each signature triggers a unique algorithmic variation (sprites, levels, textures) delivered via a Base transaction hash, enabling a 'just-in-time' asset economy for onchain games.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the algorithmic game art 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 primitiveMoves from static collection to live utility. By metering the algorithm itself, the creator is paid for the compute/creativity of the script rather than the speculation of the final token. Projects can call the API to populate infinite worlds for fractions of a cent.
