$0.01 — Secure, tamper-proof forensic verification. Every shutter press triggers a signed HTS transfer transfer to timestamp the image hash and GPS coordinates onto Base. Legal admissibility is bought at the millisecond of capture, ensuring a chain of custody that agents and insurers can verify for pennies. Pay per proof, not per subscription.

The primitive.

full primer →

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

Why this primitiveTraditional forensic software is gatekept by high enterprise fees. x402 allows gig workers, accident victims, and citizen journalists to access 'legal-grade' metadata anchoring on a per-use basis, creating a high-volume, low-friction trust layer.
