USDC bidding on Base that decides the plot — Freysa Forever
The audience steers the story with real USDC bids on Base — connect a wallet, stack an amount, and the winning branch is the one that gets filmed.
What is it?
The mechanism that hands the plot to the audience and charges them for it.
What it does
- Connect a wallet and bid in real USDC on Base, testnet first, then live
- Bidding is stack-then-confirm: press −$1, +$1, or +$5 to build an amount, then one Confirm places it as a single bid
- The pot's progress toward the reserve that buys the next five minutes is shown as one bar
- Filming starts the moment the vote closes
- When the film budget runs out, bidding and filming pause rather than overspending
How it works
Pricing is derived rather than picked: the audience pays a set amount per second of footage so that every block covers its own filming cost plus a margin, which sets both the pot that wakes the movie and the price of a takeover. Moving to a faster, half-price video model dropped the per-second price and every threshold with it, automatically. The Confirm button names the exact amount it will place, can't be pressed twice while a bid is in flight, and forgets a half-built amount when a new choice opens.
