RAWFEED · x402

A headless frame-based protocol for frame-by-frame appreciation. Instead of a 'Like', viewers pay 0.01 USDC to unlock the high-definition 'Director's Cut' metadata or specific technical LUTs used in a scene. It transforms passive consumption into a metered stream of support, where each second of professional-grade footage is an x402-gated asset, allowing creators to monetize the 'how' as much as the 'what'.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the micro-tipping 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 primitiveCurrent tipping is a psychological friction point. By integrating x402 via HTS transfer, 'tipping' becomes a functional payment for metadata (camera settings, set notes, or raw clips). This shifts the behavior from charity to a micro-transactional value exchange that is gasless for the user and instant for the creator.
