DraftTrace · x402

Archivists and scholars pay 0.01 USDC to unlock the 'ghost layer' of a poem—revealing the time-stamped revisions, deleted stanzas, and marginalia behind the final version. Every session-save by a poet is a micro-settlement on Hedera, turning the creative process into a permanent, verifiable asset. Pay to peer into the process; pay to preserve the legacy.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the poetry archiving 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 commodifying the 'draft' rather than just the final product, we create a recurring revenue model for poets. The pay-per-view mechanism for revisions mimics the experience of visiting a physical literary archive, but at the scale of internet micropayments.
