You should never have to choose a proof. You choose how much assurance your task needs — named so plainly there is nothing to decode. Pick a tier below and the price, the savings estimate, and the hook-up button all follow it. Verification is always free; you only pay to sign.
verify: true
One flag, plus a tier. That is the entire integration. Your agents request the tier their task needs; Hive applies the right proofs. No primitive menu, nothing to decode.
Every answer is cryptographically signed and grounded in its sources — verifiable by anyone, offline, with no key.
You want the meter to spin and every answer to be provable.
…and you know exactly which model produced it. Signed, grounded, and provably from the model you think — no silent swap, no hidden lineage.
You serve multiple models, route, or fine-tune open weights and must prove what ran.
…and every move your agent makes is provable. Signed, grounded, model-verified, and a tamper-evident record of everything your agent did, observed, altered, and was authorized to do.
You ship agents that take real actions and need to prove they behaved.
…and it is audit-grade, hardware-attested, instability-detecting. Everything above, plus hardware-attested proof, instability detection, and provable evaluation with contamination proof — the assurance no one else can sell at any price.
A wrong, unprovable, or unstable answer is a legal or existential event.
Each tier is a superset of the one below. More assurance is always just the next tier up — never a re-integration.
Every vertical has a natural floor — the lowest tier that clears its assurance bar. Tap a tier to select it above.
| Your world | Floor tier | Why this tier | The pain it removes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Search / RAG / chat | VERIFIED | High volume, low ceremony — proof as a feature | Is this answer grounded or hallucinated? Every answer carries its sources, signed. |
| Multi-model / routing / open weights | VERIFIED MODEL | Must prove which model actually ran | Silent model swap, hidden lineage, the model-identity question. |
| Agentic products that act | VERIFIED AGENT | Every action provable, not logged after the fact | Reconstructing what the agent saw takes weeks; here it is signed before the act. |
| Healthcare | VERIFIED REGULATED | Audit trail must survive long retention; clinical inference is high-consequence | Unprovable clinical-decision-support inference; audit trails that rot. |
| Finance | VERIFIED REGULATED | Tamper-evidence, enforceable SLAs, trading and credit decisions | "Show your work" to a regulator; disputed bills; unenforceable latency language. |
| Legal | VERIFIED REGULATED | Chain-of-custody on e-discovery and contract-analysis inference | Repudiable timestamps; privilege boundaries with no proof. |
| Government / Defense | VERIFIED REGULATED | Post-quantum-mandated signing on a hardware root | Classical crypto that will not clear a PQC mandate. |
| Motorsport | VERIFIED AGENT → VERIFIED REGULATED | AI runs the pit limiter, brake-by-wire, energy map — reconstructable incidents | Weeks-long incident reconstruction with no signed record of the state the AI saw. |
Verification is always free. You only pay to sign. Set your volume and what a failure costs you; the math is live.
Estimate only — your real invoice is metered per signed receipt and settled in USDC on Base. Verification of any receipt is always free. License "from" prices are floors, not exclusivity.
You sell "verified inference" as a feature; Hive is the engine. You flip one flag, your agents ask for the assurance they need, and we handle which proofs apply.
Verification is not a tax on your answer. The proof is minted out-of-band, in parallel, and attached after — your tokens ship at the speed they do today. We did not make inference slower to make it provable.
Honest numbers. Receipt-assembly medians, 500 iterations; end-to-end from a 10-run distributed harness. The signature itself is post-quantum (ML-DSA-65); the point is not that signing is fast in isolation — it is that it never sits on the answer's critical path.
The comparison is not Hive against a faster model. It is the same inference you ship today — a trust-me dashboard claim — turned into a recomputable fact anyone can check.
| Ordinary inference | Hive Verified inference | |
|---|---|---|
| Latency on the answer | baseline | same — signing is out-of-band |
| The bill | trust the dashboard | a recomputable fact, signed per receipt |
| The SLA | unenforceable language | “pay-if-slow,” machine-settled from signed measurements |
| Which model ran | trust the label | proven — no silent swap, no hidden lineage |
| What the agent did | logged after the fact | signed before the act, tamper-evident |
| Holds up to a regulator | no | audit-grade — PQC, hardware-rooted, long-retention |
| Anyone can verify it | no key, no proof | yes — offline, no secret, no account |
And if you are wondering who else does this: no one ships it in production. The nearest comparable is a single solo project on a test network using classical, non-quantum-safe crypto with no hardware root. Hive is the only post-quantum, hardware-rooted, publicly-verifiable per-inference receipt running on real rails.
Verification is always free, forever. You only pay to sign — and the fee falls as you scale.
| Tier | Meter (per signed receipt) | License path |
|---|---|---|
| VERIFIED | Build first 1M free → Scale $0.0008 → Platform $0.0004 | Single-product license from $120k/yr |
| VERIFIED MODEL | Scale $0.0008 → Platform $0.0004 | Single-product license from $120k/yr |
| VERIFIED AGENT | Platform $0.0004 → Hyperscale $0.0002 — meter spins fastest (an agent run is many receipts) | Suite license from $360k/yr |
| VERIFIED REGULATED | Hyperscale $0.0002 plus premium add-ons — priced against the cost of a regulatory finding, not against inference | Suite from $360k/yr plus sovereign / on-prem (custom) |
Patent Pending across the suite. ML-DSA-65 signatures (NIST FIPS 204). Receipts anchored to Base mainnet with USDC. The full pricing breakdown, both pay-as-you-go and license, lives on the pricing page.
You don't pick proofs. You pick how much assurance your task needs — Verified, Verified Model, Verified Agent, or Verified Regulated — and flip one flag. Your agents request the assurance they need. Hive handles the rest.
