Monetize anything, even legacy technology

Built around HTTP 402, flame402 enables real-time payments for both modern and vintage content. Stream revenue from old cameras, tape archives, analog broadcasts, or any digital content — no subscriptions, no accounts, no intermediaries. Payments flow per-second and stop when access ends.

Legacy Integration

Bridge analog devices and vintage technology to modern payment rails.

Instant Settlement

Accept payments at blockchain speed for any content source.

Universal

Works with VHS tapes, old cameras, analog broadcasts, or digital streams.

Granular Billing

Per-second or per-byte pricing with complete transparency.

Open Standard

Vendor-neutral protocol compatible with any technology era.

No Barriers

Monetize without accounts, subscriptions, or platform fees.

Architecture

  • Gateway: A delegate wallet authorized for a capped allowance per session.
  • Approval: User signs an approveChecked instruction to grant temporary access.
  • Transfer loop: Server streams tokens each second using createTransferCheckedInstruction.
  • Variable pricing: Rates can be adjusted dynamically per content or resource type.

Core Transfer Logic

const tx = new Transaction();
tx.recentBlockhash = blockhash;
tx.feePayer = gatewayKey.publicKey;

tx.add(createTransferCheckedInstruction(
  userAta,
  usdcMint,
  creatorAta,
  gatewayKey.publicKey,
  perSecond, // 1 token/sec
  6,
  [],
  TOKEN_PROGRAM_ID
));

tx.add(new TransactionInstruction({
  programId: new PublicKey("MemoSq4gqABAXKb96qnH8TysNcWxMyWCqXgDLGmfcHr"),
  data: Buffer.from(`flame402-${Date.now()}`)
}));

tx.sign(gatewayKey);
await connection.sendRawTransaction(tx.serialize());

Each transaction represents one payment tick. The memo ensures uniqueness while minimizing RPC requests.

Use Cases

  • Monetize feeds from vintage cameras and analog equipment.
  • Stream digitized VHS, Betamax, or film archives with per-second billing.
  • Connect old broadcast technology to modern payment systems.
  • Pay-per-view access to historical or analog content collections.
  • Bridge any legacy device to the digital economy.

Vision

flame402 bridges the gap between old and new — enabling legacy technology to participate in the modern digital economy. Every device, every format, every era can now generate streaming revenue.
