FrameRate · x402

Pay 0.01 USDC to unlock a fractional stake in a raw clip's downstream licensing revenue. Every view, edit, or repurpose by other creators triggers a micropayment distribution back to the early stakers via the x402 settlement layer. Skip the heavy DeFi UI; payment is the signal.

The primitive.

full primer →

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

Why this primitiveBy replacing manual 'staking' with an instant 0.01 USDC event, we remove the friction of liquidity pools. The x402 transaction serves as both the funding mechanism and the cryptographically signed ledger entry for revenue participation.

a 'pay 0.01 HBAR or USDC to unlock' button with a live flow log and a HashScan link for every settlement
