DirectorCut · x402

A high-fidelity previsualization engine where every frame generation or storyboard 'stamp' is a discrete 0.01 USDC micro-transaction. Instead of subscriptions, directors pay for the exact volume of creative vision they execute. Each stamp triggers an HTS transfer transfer that anchors the scene's metadata and timestamp to Base, creating an immutable, paid audit trail of creative evolution from script to screen.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the previsualization 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 primitiveMoving from NFT minting (high friction) to x402 micropayments (low friction) turns storyboarding into a utility-metered service. It solves the 'orphaned creative' problem by ensuring every iteration is financially anchored and cryptographically verified for less than the cost of a physical sticky note.
