STITCH · x402

A cryptographic ledger for high-fashion and theatrical hardware. Pay 0.01 USDC to verify a garment's production lineage, authorize a rental usage rights transfer, or unlock high-resolution technical patterns. Every stitch, alteration, and stage appearance is a billable event, ensuring designers earn a micropayment every time a costume is checked out of the wardrobe or referenced for a new production.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the costume design 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 shifting from a static NFT to a pay-per-access provenance model, designers capture value from the high-frequency lifecycle of costumes (rentals, fittings, and visual audits) rather than just a one-time sale.

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.
