Kinetic · x402

$0.01 — Stream high-fidelity animated brushstrokes in real-time. Instead of traditional NFT minting, users pay a sub-cent fee to 'scrub' the timeline of an illustration or unlock a high-res loop for 24 hours. The creator receives instantaneous USDC settlement for every frame-data request, turning passive viewing into a metered interactive experience for collectors and wallpaper engines.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the animated illustration ownership 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 ownership from a static 'buy once' model to a 'pay-per-view-quality' model, ideal for digital signage and mobile backgrounds where users want variety without high-cost commitments.
