🎨 Visual Art · art reproduction control

AuraGate · x402

A high-fidelity rendering layer for digital art where every pixel-perfect view is metered. Instead of one-time mints, users pay $0.01 per high-res render or 'Save to Device' action. Creators receive instant streaming royalty splits for every second their art is displayed on digital canvases or integrated into UI backgrounds. Ownership isn't just a static entry; it's a license to view that auto-settles via HTS transfer.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the art reproduction control engine is metered with x402: 0.01 HBAR or 0.01 HTS USDC per call, paid from the embedded wallet, so painters — or the agents working for them — pay per query and get a HashScan receipt every time.

Why this primitiveShifts art value from speculative flipping to active utility. Users pay for the 'experience' of the reproduction, mirroring streaming models for visual media. x402 handles the high-volume, low-value transactions that would be gas-prohibitive for standard NFTs.
