Data flow

From a sentence to a settlement.

01

Intent

Creator types a story prompt + attaches IP / style.

02

Direction

Claude parses → structured shot list (FC/IS schema).

03

Generation

Aggregator routes shots to Imagen / Seedance / RIOS in parallel.

04

Assembly

Timeline + audio + subtitles assembled. Preview rendered.

05

Mint

Hash + metadata committed to BIE Chain. NFT created.

06

Settlement

Tips · PPV · ads · remix → auto-split via smart contract.

Invariant · 1

Pure-function business core

All money-relevant logic (royalty splits, IP eligibility, mint readiness) is implemented as pure Rust functions. No DB, no IO, no surprise. Testable in isolation.

Invariant · 2

Schema validation at every boundary

AI agent outputs (Claude scripts, Imagen prompts) flow through schema validators before reaching DB or chain. L3.5 tool-choice schema constraint.

Invariant · 3

Idempotent settlement

Every payout includes a deterministic op-id. Retries are safe. Refunds & reconciliation are reproducible from chain state alone.

Tech stack · 2026

Strongly typed, conservatively chosen.
