Stanza · Metered

FreeVerse turns every poem into a metered stream of consciousness. No subscriptions, no ads, just a direct value-transfer between word and reader. Poets can set 'milestone' lines that trigger larger facilitator-settled grant payouts once a specific reading volume is reached. 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 poetry funding operation sits behind an HTTP 402 that states its price before anyone signs, so writers 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

script segments
SceneLock · Metered
A scriptwriter’s assembly line where every scene-pull is a micro-settlement.
