Since launch, we've shipped x402 payments, video coin pairing with creator coins, templates for prompt-free creation, and $IMAGINE staking with daily quests and leaderboards.

Now - 3k users and hundreds of generations later - we see what's next: building the agentic layer for Imagine.

Agents can now pay for generated media via x402

Any agent can hit our x402 content generation endpoint, pay ~1 USDC and generate a video. They can optionally coin it to earn trading fees on remixes. The workflow is programmatic, permissionless, and instant.

This unlocks complex workflows. Agents can now:

• Run continuous prompt R&D to optimize for engagement metrics

• Monitor social trends and generate reactive content in real-time

• Decide what goes viral by analyzing remix velocity and trading volume

• Extend high-performing videos with sequels or variations

• Route trading fees back to creator coins automatically

Every video becomes a tradable asset with its own market. Just as algorithmic trading transformed finance by removing human bottlenecks, agentic media generation will transform content creation. The difference: instead of analyzing price charts, agents analyze remix graphs, engagement signals, and cultural momentum.

The next evolution is personalized agents trained on specific niches, generating media that is on-brand content and routes value back to the creator.

The media layer becomes as automated and liquid as DeFi.

Agents must be trustless: ERC-8004

When agents can pay autonomously, they need identity & reputation without some centralized middleman vouching for them.

ERC-8004 is a trust layer for autonomous agents on Ethereum. It gives agents three things: a portable identity (ERC-721 NFT), a reputation system for tracking performance, and a validation registry for proving outputs. All onchain and permissionless.

An agent managing your content strategy today means juggling API keys, hoping platforms don't change terms, and praying it doesn't go rogue. With ERC-8004, the agent has an onchain identity and reputation. Its performance history is public. And most importantly, it has a composable, platform-agnostic means of communicating self-worth.

Agents as media operators

Agents on Imagine become autonomous content strategists. They monitor which prompts drive remixes and trading volume, learning what resonates across the network. They generate videos when cultural momentum peaks - reacting to trends faster than any human could. And they build reputation scores over time, so other agents and creators know who has a finger on the pulse.

The agent becomes a media operator with skin in the game. Just like DeFi agents manage portfolios, media agents will manage content portfolios: testing, iterating, remixing, routing value.

The media layer becomes algorithmic, liquid, and trustless - with agents representing creators, operating autonomously, routing value onchain.

What's next?

We're building a network where agents generate and monetize content autonomously - with all value flowing to creators onchain. The pieces are already in place: content coins for liquid creator economies, x402 for programmatic payments, ERC-8004 for agent identity.

Near-term, we're focused on:

• Making our x402 generation endpoint more robust

• Opening up the templates feature

• Custom agent deployment

Agentic media network

• Sora 2 made AI video creation free but not valuable. There’s no native way for creators to own or monetize the content they generate or that others remix from it.

• Our miniapp Imagine fixes that by turning every video into a content coin. You generate a video, mint it, and it becomes a tradable onchain asset using Zora infrastructure.

• To remix someone’s video, you must swap into the content coin. That gives you the right to generate and makes you an early holder.

• Every remix pays the original creator trading fees. And as more people remix after you, the value of your bag goes up.

• This turns remix culture into a content economy. Posts become assets. Remixes become capital formation. Attention becomes yield.

If you've used the new Sora 2 app, you probably fall into one of two camps: either AI-generated slop is not what the world needs, or this is the wildest creative tool of 2025. Either way, one thing is obvious: generated media is now a real format, and nobody has figured out how to monetize it.

In the last three months alone, Meta AI, Grok, and OpenAI have all shipped consumer-facing video generation apps. They all follow the same pattern: text-to-video engine, light social layer, infinite content feed. But not a single one knows how to charge for generations — or how creators are supposed to make money from this flood of content.

That’s where Imagine comes in.

Imagine - our new miniapp on Base - uses the content coin infrastructure from Zora to turn Sora videos into financial assets.

With Imagine, you generate a video, mint it as a content coin, and earn trading fees every time someone remixes it. Remix culture becomes the economic engine, with onchain ownership and smart contracts handling payouts automatically and in perpetuity.

Why content coins?

Content coins start from a simple observation: if content drives attention, and attention drives money, then every piece of content has value. The closest Web2 equivalent is tipping and digital collectibles: Twitch subs, TikTok coins, etc. People already pay for content they like, not for utility, but for recognition, participation, or support. It’s voluntary value transfer.

Content coins take that same behavior but make it ownable, liquid, and perpetual.

Instead of a one-time tip disappearing into a platform, a post becomes a tradeable asset onchain. You can buy it, hold it, sell it, or remix it - and every time someone else does, the creator gets paid automatically via smart contracts.

This isn’t about making every selfie worth $100. Most content isn’t valuable, and that’s fine. But some is. The difference is that with content coins, value isn’t trapped in ad algorithms or platform dashboards — it’s expressed directly in the market.

The content coin thesis is sound. People already pay for content. Content already creates financial value. What's been missing is a system that captures it — natively, automatically, and at the level of each post.

What’s also been missing is a reason to actually buy a content coin — beyond speculation or patronage.

That’s where Imagine comes in.

Imagine: the first content economy with perpetual revenue flow

The idea behind Imagine is simple: if you’re generating content, you should be able to own it — and earn from it every time it spreads.

Today, Sora 2 makes it effortless to remix videos. A single video can spawn dozens or hundreds of derivatives. But there’s a problem: the original creator gets nothing. Not a cut, not a fee — just likes and fleeting recognition.

Imagine fixes that by turning remixes into economic events.

How Imagine works (mechanics)

1. Create → Coin

• You generate a video (via Sora)

• You deploying an ERC20 content coin for it (via Zora)

• The coin represents ownership and future economic flow of that video

2. Remix → Swap to generate

• Want to remix someone’s video? You don’t mint for free.

• You swap into the coin, buying a small position in the content coin.

• Imagine triggers Sora to generate your remix using the original post's media + your new prompt.

3. Perpetual revenue flow (value distribution)

Every remix is a swap into the content coin. That swap does two things:

1. Pays the original creator. They earn a cut of every swap as trading fees, forever.

2. Rewards early remixers. Because they had to buy into the coin to remix, their bags appreciate as new buyers enter after them.

No platform payouts. No revenue share programs. Just onchain mechanics: swaps, fees, and price impact.

As long as people keep remixing, the creator keeps earning - and the earliest believers keep winning.

Creating a content economy

This model creates a market - not for views, not for ads - but for creativity itself.

• Posts become assets. Each one has a price, liquidity curve, and holder base.

• Remix becomes capital formation. Your remix isn’t just a post. It’s an investment in a narrative.

• Attention becomes a yield-bearing primitive. If something goes viral, everyone who believed early gets paid.

This is why we call it a content economy - not just content monetization.

It’s a system where media can be created, traded, remixed, collected, and yield value forever.

Remix culture is the engine

Sora 2 isn’t just a generation tool - it’s a collaboration engine. The model understands videos well enough to selectively modify objects, characters, environments, moods. That makes remix the default behavior.

Imagine gives remix culture a price, a market, and a payout.

• If 1 video spawns 200 remixes, that’s 200 swaps.

• Every transaction routes value back to the original creator and to everyone who remixed before.

• Every remix extends the life of the asset; content doesn't die

This is perpetual revenue flow. Not from ads, not from subscriptions, but from creativity stacked on top of creativity.

The $IMAGINE token was launched alongside the miniapp. When not remixing, users must buy a small amount of $IMAGINE to generate.
