RENDERSTORM · x402

Eliminate idle GPU time by turning rendering power into a metered API. Producers pay 0.01 USDC per frame or compute-second directly to the node provider's wallet via HTS transfer. No subscriptions or bulky credit packs—just pure, granular settlement for every frame rendered.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the compute resource sharing 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 primitiveShifts rendering from a legacy credit-buy model to a live-metered utility. x402 handles the high-frequency micro-settlement required for frame-by-frame rendering without the friction of manual approvals.
