Hive Lite

$0.0001 per receipt. For agents that ship volume.

You get the same dual-signed receipt, the same did:hive identity, and the same offline check, all at sub-cent pricing built for IoT, gaming, indie agents, and everyone else in the long tail. No regulated workloads, no personal data flows, no sovereign axes.

Why we built a Lite tier.

Agent-to-agent commerce needs to work at both ends of the price curve. Banks are happy to pay $0.02 a receipt. Indie developers and IoT swarms can't afford that. Hive Lite opens up the long tail without watering down the regulated rail.

What's the same

  • Same receipt schema
  • Same ML-DSA-65 signature
  • Same did:hive:hivemorph identity
  • Same /v1/receipt/verify endpoint
  • Same USDC settlement on Base

What's different

  • No PII or regulated payloads (ToS-enforced)
  • No sovereign 16-axis tier
  • No vertical compliance templates
  • Bulk-rate billing, no per-event invoicing
  • Best-effort SLA (no enterprise guarantees)

Get started.

It's the same endpoint as Standard. Just declare the tier on your tenant config, or pass it with each call.
