FLARE · x402

0.01 USDC per frame-render to inject cryptographically signed, creator-owned anamorphic flares. Stop using generic assets; pay the artist directly for every export. The HTS transfer signature authorizes the compositing engine to pull the high-fidelity effect metadata while instantly settling a royalty to the original cinematographer.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the visual effects 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 a one-time 'minting' model to a per-use 'rendering' model, creators earn passive income for every production that utilizes their specific optical signatures, while editors only pay for what they actually use in the final cut.
