FrameProof · x402

A cryptographically signed watermark and metadata stamp for RAW footage. Every time a high-res master is previewed or retrieved by a production house, a 0.01 USDC x402 payment executes. This creates a perpetual, verifiable chain of custody where the payment hash *is* the proof of licensing. Editors pay per clip unlock; creators earn per frame accessed.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the shot authentication 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 watermarking is easily cropped; x402 turns the 'request for high-res' into an immutable toll gate. It replaces legal contracts with a meter that settles ownership proofs in real-time on Hedera.
