Atelier · Pay to Anchor

Artists unlock smart-locks, power outlets, or high-end lighting rigs via QUIP-metered sessions. No monthly rent or deposits; the studio operates as a physical API, billing the artist's Privy wallet in real-time as they occupy the space. Pay only for the duration of the creative flow. One 0.01 USDC payment over x402 anchors the WOTS+ seal on-chain — no subscription, no account.

The primitive.

full primer →

Painters pay 0.01 USDC once, in-page, and the art space access seal is written on-chain for them — no funded host-chain wallet, no subscription, just a payment log that ends in a real transaction.

Why this primitiveLoading details…

Kernel
a 0.01 USDC payment over x402 on Base Sepolia that buys one on-chain anchor — the server verifies the settlement, then a relayer writes the user's WOTS+ seal into the QUIP verifier on the host chain
Drives the UI as
a numbered payment log running from 402 challenge to settled USDC to the host-chain anchor tx, every hash a clickable explorer link
