Proof of Set · x402

Film sets are high-trust environments. Every crew check-in, equipment rental, or NDA signature now requires a 0.01 USDC micro-attestation via x402. Production houses use this to build instant, verifiable reputation ledgers where every interaction is a paid, signed proof of professional identity, eliminating credential fraud in the gig economy.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the identity verification 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 the model from a 'free' utility to a high-velocity 'proof-of-presence' protocol. By making each verification a paid micro-transaction, it creates a real-world cost for reputation, deterring sybil attacks and syphon-proof talent pools.
