Cutsign · x402

Decentralized NLE state management where every 'save', 'render', or 'version-branch' is a 0.01 USDC event. Editors pay to push changes; producers pay to pull the latest sequence state. Eliminates cloud subscription bloat by metering the actual collaborative delta.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the collaborative editing 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 primitiveCollaborative video files are heavy, but the XML/Metadata sync is lightweight. By making every 'Sync' a micropayment, you monetize the coordination labor and metadata storage without high fixed monthly costs.
