Resonance · x402

A real-time generative audio engine where every parameter shift or 'meta-tweak' is a $0.01 micro-transaction. Users don't just listen; they perform. Sign a 1-cent permit to evolve the synth patch, trigger a drum fill, or modulate the spatial reverb based on Hedera network congestion. Creators earn pure yield as fans remix their stems in real-time. Powering interactive soundtracks for the onchain metaverse where every beat drop is a settled transaction.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the dynamic audio 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 atomizing music production into $0.01 'logic gates,' you turn a static NFT into a playable instrument. HTS transfer allows for frictionless, sub-second sound modulation that would be impossible with traditional gas-heavy interactions.

sample tracking

Provenance · x402

A sub-cent attribution layer for sound design. Producers pay $0.01 USDC to instantly unlock high-fidelity stems and secure a cryptographically signed provenance receipt. Every time a sample is previewed or dragged into a DAW, the facilitator settles a micropayment directly to the original creator's Magic Link email sign-in. No subscriptions, just pay-per-sample flow for the agentic music economy.

remix licensing

A 'Pay-per-Stems' protocol where remixers stream high-fidelity project files for 0.05 USDC per download. Every stem download triggers an immediate HTS transfer settlement to the original producer's wallet. Final remix uploads are gated by x402 signatures, ensuring the licensing fee is burned into the metadata before the track can be minted or played. licensing is no longer a contract; it's a micropayment primitive.

beat collaboration

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.
