Style Vault · x402

Secure your unique AI latent-space fingerprints on-chain. Style Vault allows artists to lock proprietary LoRA weights and style parameters behind a pay-per-inference gate. Fans and fellow creators pay 0.01 USDC to 'borrow' your visual DNA for a single generation, with each transformation settled instantly on Hedera. Stop giving away your aesthetic for free; meter every prompt that touches your style.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the AI style preservation 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 primitiveBy turning style files into a metered resource, we transition from 'preservation' (passive storage) to 'monetization' (active revenue). Every style application becomes a measurable micro-transaction, solving the problem of AI style theft by transforming it into an automated licensing model.

art ownership tracking
HardTrace · x402
An on-chain verification layer where creators and galleries pay 0.01 USDC to append or verify high-fidelity provenance events. Trade paper trails for a micro-paid, immutable ledger of truth.
generative art minting
Gen-Seed · x402
A headless seed-to-string engine where 0.01 USDC triggers a unique generative iteration. Instead of a heavy upfront minting fee, users pay per 'Evolution Sign-off.' Artists deploy logic; collectors pay per high-fidelity render, receiving a Hedera transaction id as proof of unique generation. The payment is the shutter click.
gallery exhibition tracking
Exhibit · x402
Provenance is a living ledger, not a static database. Exhibit pays the artist 0.01 USDC every time a curator, insurer, or buyer pulls a verified exhibition history or updates a physical location tag. Turn the 'paper trail' into a real-time revenue stream for estates and digital creators.
