HyperFan · x402

Eliminate speculative friction. Reframe fan loyalty as a direct micro-transactional economy. Fans pay 0.01 USDC to 'Boost' their player in real-time, trigger on-screen alerts, or vote on the next map. Instead of abstract tokens, every interaction is a settled payment. Creators get instant liquid revenue; fans get verifiable influence without the overhead of gas or token volatility. Payouts are metered per engagement event.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the community engagement 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 replacing 'tokens' with x402 micropayments, we remove the complexity of DEX liquidity and price speculation. The value exchange is direct: $0.01 for 1 unit of influence. This converts passive viewers into active micropayers through the the embedded wallet sign-in flow.
