StreetRail mixes street dance culture with programmable money. This primer translates the tech into dance terms — no prior web3 knowledge needed.
Concept cards
Each card pairs something you already know from the scene with the technology that makes it work on StreetRail.
The Cypher
= Blockchain (Arc)
The cypher is the circle where every move is seen, in order, and can't be erased. Arc is the digital cypher: every payment and rights record is visible to all, locked in order, and permanent.
Your Signature Move
= Transaction
When you throw your signature, everyone knows it's you. A transaction is your digital signature move — it proves you did something on the rail and stamps it with your wallet.
The Crew
= Agentic / Agents
Agentic means software that acts like a trusted crew member. You give it a spend limit and a mission — shop, negotiate, or pay — and it executes without you babysitting every step.
The Setlist
= Mandate (AP2)
Before a battle you agree on the setlist. A mandate is the digital setlist: it tells the agent what it can spend, on what, for how long, and when it needs to ask for approval.
Four Battle Formats
= H2H · H2A · A2A · A2H
H2H is you browsing the shop. H2A is you telling an agent what to buy. A2A is two agents negotiating and settling alone. A2H is an agent paying choreographers automatically through a payout inbox.
The Wristband Check
= x402
x402 is like the bouncer checking your wristband before you enter. It means 'show me the on-chain receipt, then you get the goods.' No receipt, no entry.
Battle Money That Doesn't Bounce
= Stablecoins
USDC, EURC and cirBTC are digital dollars, euros and bitcoin that keep their value. A prize purse in stablecoins doesn't shrink between the battle and the bank.
The Door Fee
= Gas
On Arc, USDC is the door fee. You don't need a second token to post a move or buy a tee — the same stablecoin you pay with covers the network cost.
The Rights Wall
= Move Registry
Dancers log a choreography fingerprint on-chain. Every merch drop tied to that move inherits the credit, so the creators get paid when their style travels.
Your Dance ID
= Wallet
Privy gives you an embedded wallet with Google login. It's your digital dance card: it holds your stablecoins, signs your moves, and proves it's you at the door.
