🎭 Theater & Live Performance · performance credentials

Proscenium · x402

ActorTrust turns talent verification into a pay-per-call protocol. Casting directors pay $0.01 per query to pull HTS transfer signed, verified performance history directly from a performer's vault. No more bloated PDFs or unverified credits; actors earn a micropayment every time their 'Proof of Role' is accessed by an agency or production house. The credential itself serves as a programmable gated asset.

The primitive.

full primer →

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

Why this primitiveBy moving from free storage to a micro-monetized query model, we eliminate data scraping and turn talent discovery into a direct revenue stream for the performer. The 0.01 USDC fee acts as a spam filter for casting calls and a dividend for the actor.

playwright collaboration
DraftFlow · x402
Pay-per-contribution script evolution. Every time a playwright pushes a new scene, dialogue tweak, or stage direction, the production pays a $0.01 micro-royalty. This turns the script into a living, metered asset where writers are paid for the act of creation in real-time. Producers unlock specific drafts or 'forks' of a play for rehearsal by paying a settled $0.01 fee per actor access, ensuring the creative sweat equity is instantly monetized and timestamped on-chain.
casting marketplace
StageRead · x402
A high-frequency talent scout protocol where every audition tape submission and casting call 'side' download is a micro-settlement. Directors pay $0.01 to unlock a performer's reel, and actors pay $0.01 to commit their encrypted audition data to the chain. This replaces monthly subscription models with a 'pay-per-opportunity' architecture, preventing platform bloat and ensuring only high-intent interactions between talent and production.
lighting rights management
LumenSync · x402
A protocol for lighting designers to meter the 'burn' of their intellectual property. Lighting consoles ping the x402 endpoint to unlock specific DMX map frames or complex Chamsys/MA3 sequence macros. Venues pay 0.01 USDC per cue-trigger or per-minute of 'look' duration, ensuring designers are compensated for every performance without complex manual auditing.
