BeatCommit · x402

A real-time rhythmic session layer where every MIDI pattern, drum hit, or sample flip is committed as a cryptographically signed stem. Producers pay 0.01 USDC to 'Drop' a loop into the shared master or 'Stem-Out' a high-quality bounce. Payments serve as the immutable proof-of-contribution, creating a financial trail of authorship that prevents ghost-producing and ensures royalty attribution at the primitive level.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the beat collaboration engine is metered with x402: 0.01 HBAR or 0.01 HTS USDC per call, paid from the embedded wallet, so musicians — or the agents working for them — pay per query and get a HashScan receipt every time.

Why this primitiveBy making every 'Commit' a paid micro-transaction, the act of creation doubles as a legal record of work. It eliminates the friction of split-sheet negotiations by replacing them with a 'pay-to-contribute' ledger.
