InkVerify · x402

An on-chain literary salon where every critique is a micro-settlement. Authors pay 0.01 USDC to unlock an anonymous, high-signal peer review, and reviewers earn instant liquidity for quality feedback. No fluff, no gatekeepers—just meritocratic editing where every 'red pen' stroke is a verified transaction.

The primitive.

full primer →

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

Why this primitiveBy turning peer review into a pay-per-read/pay-per-critique model, we eliminate the 'request' friction. The x402 protocol ensures that literary labor is compensated at the atomic level, turning critique from a favor into a scalable service.

poetry archiving
VerseLedger · x402
A granular attribution layer for poets. Instead of a one-time mint, VerseLedger meters the "Proof of Originality." Pay 0.01 USDC to cryptographically timestamp a stanza or signature, or 0.01 USDC to query the chain for a similarity check against the ledger. It turns the archive from a static list into a pay-per-verification utility for publishers and literary scouts.
interactive storytelling
PlotLine · x402
A real-time collaborative logic engine for fiction where every narrative branch is a pay-per-vote micro-transaction. Authors publish 'Fractured Chapters' where the plot path is gated by liquidity; the story only progresses when the collective pool for a specific outcome hits its threshold. 0.01 USDC per vote ensures skin in the game while preventing bot-spamming of plot arcs. Readers don't just consume; they fund the creative direction one sentence at a time.
screenwriting rights
DraftFlow · x402
A granular narrative licensing engine where screenwriters monetize at the scene level. Producers and AI pre-viz tools pay 0.01 USDC to 'Read & Reference' specific plot points or dialogue blocks. Each interaction triggers an HTS transfer transfer directly to the script's contributors, turning a static PDF into a metered IP asset. Payment is the permission layer for adaptation.
