Cuts · Metered

Instead of high-friction subscriptions, studios meter high-fidelity trailer access and press-kit downloads. Each QUIP payment triggers an immediate EIP-3009 transfer, returning a Base tx hash that acts as a cryptographically verifiable 'proof-of-view' and release-date timestamp. For creators, it's a 'pay-per-frame' distribution model that eliminates ad-revenue middlemen. 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 promotional cuts operation sits behind an HTTP 402 that states its price before anyone signs, so videographers 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
