Stanza · x402

A per-stanza revision sandbox where poets pay 0.01 USDC to 'mint' versions to permanent storage. No subscriptions; just a high-stakes, metered environment for serious wordsmiths where each save settles on-chain.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the poetry drafting 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 'Save' into a micro-transaction, the act of drafting becomes intentional. Poets value their work more when they literally invest in the revision history, creating a verifiable provenance of the creative process.

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.

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.
