Chromata · x402

A pay-per-lookup library for cinematic LUTs and RAW color profiles. Videographers pay $0.01 USDC to instantly unlock the hex-data or .cube values for a frame. Every 'Apply Palette' action in the editor triggers a micro-settlement to the colorist via a the embedded wallet-signed request. No subscriptions—just pay for the specific look of the shot you're grading.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the color palette trading 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 primitiveTraditional asset marketplaces suffer from 'all-or-nothing' licensing. By atomizing color data into x402 calls, high-end colorists can monetize every single 'preview' or 'apply' action, turning a color gallery into a high-velocity automated revenue stream.
