Pay-per-state lighting orchestration. Designers publish complex fixture profiles, cues, and DMX universes to IPFS; peers pay $0.01 USDC to unlock the setup code for local production or AI-driven pre-visualization.

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 primitiveMoving from a 'storage' model to a 'per-pull' model turns designs into liquid assets. It prevents scraping and ensures the original LD is compensated every time their aesthetic is 'referenced' or imported into a lighting console.

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.
