CutLog · x402

A programmable NLE primitive where every 'Render' or 'Export' action requires a signed 0.01 USDC micro-settlement to commit the sequence to the ledger. Instead of clunky NFT minting, CutLog meters version control: creators pay per version-hash, and studios pay per sequence retrieval. It turns the edit timeline into a granular, pay-per-state audit trail, ensuring every cut is timestamped and paid for, preventing 'work-for-hire' theft by gating the final EDL behind high-resolution settlement.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the editing sequence 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 shifting from 'NFT ownership' to 'pay-per-commit,' the app creates a continuous value stream for version control and cryptographic proof of work without the friction of large gas fees or minting ceremonies.
