LUMEN · x402

A per-trigger lighting protocol where LDs license 'Cue Stacks' to venues. Instead of a one-time fee, the console pays 0.01 USDC via HTS transfer for every lighting transition executed. A cryptographic 'Proof-of-Cue' is posted to Base, ensuring designers are paid for every single performance, rehearsal, or touring stop without manual tracking.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the lighting 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 primitiveLighting design is often 'stolen' or reused without credit in touring. Moving from a flat fee to a metered per-cue model ensures the designer's IP is continuously monetized as the show runs.
