🎨 Visual Art · color authenticity validation

TrueHue · Agent Pay

A protocol for true-spectrum validation. The app hashes hexadecimal sequences against high-resolution pixel data, creating a permanent on-chain record of authenticity that prevents color-shifting theft or AI-generated replicas. Pay-per-certification for artists; pay-per-verification for collectors. The endpoint is priced in USDC over x402, so an autonomous agent can pay for itself without an API key.

The primitive.

full primer →

The color authenticity validation endpoint publishes its own price, so an autonomous agent can pay and retry with no API key — painters watch a machine buy the answer beside a human doing the same thing.

Why this primitiveLoading details…

Kernel
an endpoint whose price, asset and payee are published in its own 402 response, so an autonomous agent can discover the terms, pay in USDC and retry with no API key and no signup
Drives the UI as
a side-by-side view of the human client and an in-page agent running the same request → 402 → pay → retry loop
