SceneFreeze · x402

A spatial bookmarking protocol that leverages x402 to capture, store, and retrieval XR environment snapshots. Users pay 0.01 USDC to 'freeze' a 3D scene state or 'thaw' a premium environment for instant cross-platform loading. Developers integrate the API to allow AI agents to navigate or populate persistent AR world-layers via micropayment-gated metadata retrieval.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the extended reality content storage 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 turning state persistence into a metered commodity, XR developers avoid heavy server overhead while creators monetize high-fidelity environment configurations. The x402 model ensures that only the data retrieved is paid for, enabling a granular marketplace for immersive context.
