GHOSTROLL · x402

A headless protocol where every frame of a game replay is an addressable asset. Pro-players and speedrunners publish their ghost data; users pay 0.01 USDC to 'shadow' a specific run, download the metadata for a single attempt, or unlock the input-sequence for a boss fight. Payment is the playback trigger: no pay, no replay. Creators earn instantly on every view without an ad-platform intermediary.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the game replay sharing 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 'NFT minting' (high friction, one-time) to 'pay-per-view ghost data' (low friction, iterative), we turn replays into a liquid utility. The x402 model treats gameplay data as a metered API, allowing for fractional access to high-skill secrets.
