Pedigree · Paid Certificate

Lineage as an automated ledger. Using QUIP, artists charge a micro-fee for every 'Influence Signature' granted to a student. Each payment triggers a cryptographically signed proof of mentorship that the student displays in their digital portfolio. Influence is no longer a vague claim; it is a metered, verifiable bond between master and apprentice settled on-chain. Paying 0.01 USDC over x402 returns a signed provenance certificate for the work.

The primitive.

One 0.01 USDC payment turns the art mentorship proof record into a signed certificate painters can email, attach or archive — and the page proves who signed it without asking anyone to trust the server.

Why this primitiveLoading details…

Kernel
a 0.01 USDC payment over x402 that returns a relayer-signed provenance certificate over the WOTS+ head — a portable document anyone can verify without trusting the issuer
Drives the UI as
a certificate card with the signed fields, the issuing signer, and a 'recover signer' check that runs in the browser

programmable artwork framing
BORDERLINE · Paid Certificate
A programmable border-engine where every aesthetic shift is a transaction. Use the QUIP primitive to meter 'Gaze-Based Evolution' (auto-shifting frames based on how many wall-clocks pass) or 'Oracle-Linked Skins' (weather/price/time-of-day) where each asset state-change is a paid, verifiable event.
