SPROCKET · x402

A per-minute micropayment engine for cinematic premieres. Viewers stream films by streaming USDC—0.01 USDC triggers every 60 seconds of playback via HTS transfer. No subscriptions, no upfront tickets, no ads. Users pay exactly for the time they watch, with the Hedera transaction id serving as a verified 'View Receipt' for participation in post-film director Q&As.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the exclusive screenings 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 token-gating is binary; x402 enables 'Pay-as-you-Watch' granularity. This removes the friction of high ticket prices while ensuring filmmakers are paid for every second of attention.
