ITERATE · Paid Certificate

Pay-per-seed-variation for generative explorers. Each payment triggers an on-chain event that logs the specific parameter set, allowing users to 'purchase the evolution' of a piece frame-by-frame. Payment is the literal shutter button for the generative engine. Paying 0.01 USDC over x402 returns a signed provenance certificate for the work.

One 0.01 USDC payment turns the generative art iterations 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
