Spotlight · Metered

A pay-per-view talent scouting engine. Producers and casting directors pay 0.01 USDC to unlock an actor's "Proof of Performance" highlight reel. Each payment triggers an on-chain receipt that serves as a high-intent lead for the actor, while the actor pays 0.01 USDC to update their reel, ensuring the talent pool remains fresh and active rather than stale metadata. 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 promotion operation sits behind an HTTP 402 that states its price before anyone signs, so directors 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
