SwatchCast · x402

A high-fidelity textile library for digital and physical stage design. Pay 0.01 USDC to unlock raw 8K macro-textures, weave patterns, and drape-physics data for a specific fabric. Designers earn USDC residuals ogni volta their scans are pulled for mood boards or 3D character modeling. Direct HTS transfer settlement ensures the source artist is paid instantly per asset accessed.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the fabric study 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 primitiveHigh-resolution textile scans are often gatekept by expensive subscription silos or pirate sites. x402 enables modular, per-swatch pricing that fits the 'project-based' budget of costume departments while providing a micro-royalty stream for fabric researchers.

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.
