ThreadCount · Metered

Precision textile sourcing for the agentic era. Instead of bulky mints, designers monetize the 'atomic look'—permitting AI stylists and boutique manufacturers to pay-per-view or pay-per-license for individual garment components. Exclusivity is maintained by a metered access wall where every zoom, download, and swatch-check is a micro-transaction settled on Base. Every unlock is a single 0.01 USDC payment behind an HTTP 402 gate — you pay for what you actually use.

The primitive.

full primer →

The valuable collection drops operation sits behind an HTTP 402 that states its price before anyone signs, so fashion designers pay per unlock instead of per month.

Why this primitiveLoading details…

Kernel
an HTTP 402 challenge in front of exactly one valuable operation — an export, a render, a full-resolution download — where each unlock is a single USDC payment bound to its settlement tx
Drives the UI as
a locked panel that states its price before you sign, plus an 'unlocks bought / used' counter beside the released payload
