Lumina · x402

Pay-per-frame cinematic processing. FilterForge provides a library of high-fidelity, GPU-accelerated video shaders where every render call requires a 0.01 USDC authorization. Instead of selling a static preset that gets leaked, creators earn per-second of footage processed. The x402 primitive handles the HTS transfer signature for every batch of frames, enabling a 'pay-as-you-render' model for indie filmmakers and mobile editors.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the video filters 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 NFT filter sales suffer from 'buy once, leak everywhere' issues. By moving the compute behind an x402-gated API, the creator is paid for the actual value provided (the render), and users only pay for what they use rather than an expensive upfront license.
