LoopPay · x402

A high-speed micro-licensing engine for viral loops. Instead of static NFTs, GIFt turns every loop into a metered asset. Embedders pay 0.01 USDC via x402 to 'unlock' high-res, watermark-free playback for 24 hours. Creators earn every time a meme goes viral on a third-party platform.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the animated GIFs 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 minting is too high-friction for meme culture. By turning the playback itself into a pay-per-use primitive, we align the incentive of the creator with the velocity of the viral loop. x402 allows for 'frictionless consumption' where the viewer or the hosting platform pays for the bandwidth and rights in a single click-to-sign transaction.

AI scraping agents must pay the x402 toll to verify rights before inclusion in training sets.

CUTSCENE · x402

A provable version-control layer for post-production. $0.01 per version commit creates an immutable, timestamped 'state-save' on Hedera. Pay to pull the history of any clip, ensuring editors get paid per revision and directors have a verifiable audit trail of every frame change. No more 'Final_Final_v2.mp4' confusion.

licensed assets

A granular video asset mart where creators pay-per-frame to license raw B-roll. No subscriptions, no bulky contracts—0.01 USDC triggers an instant HTS transfer transfer that fetches a high-res, watermarked-removed download link via the facilitator. Ideal for short-form editors who need a single 3-second transition without buying a $50/mo library access.
