One receipt. Three series. Same fortress.
Every series in world motorsport runs on the same problem: a regulator, a team, a sponsor, and a sanctioning body all need to agree on what happened, with proof, before the next race weekend. Today they negotiate it. Hive ships the artifact they have been negotiating without. One signed receipt every counterparty already holds, verifiable in a browser, admissible in a hearing.
Pick a paddock.
Each dashboard is a working demonstration with placeholder team and sponsor names. The receipt format is identical across all three. The signature scheme is identical. The verifier is identical. The angle changes because the room changes.
Cost-Cap Continuity.
Audience · FIA + Liberty + 11 constructors
$135M cap rising to $215M. Today: submit in March, review by June, penalty by September. With Hive: a signed cost-cap receipt every quarter, with zero-knowledge proofs that prove compliance without exposing aero IP. The FIA knows today, not next quarter.
Verifiable Sponsor Activation.
Audience · CMOs + sponsorship desks + sanctioning body
20-40 sponsors per car · 36 cars · 36 races. A CMO writes a check and gets a quarterly screenshot deck. Hive ships a signed activation receipt per sponsor placement: time on broadcast, time on stream, decal integrity, social mentions, pit-stop overlays. The activation receipt is the deliverable.
Balance of Performance Receipts.
Audience · IMSA technical + manufacturers + ACO
BoP is the most disputed call in sports-car racing. Today it is a spreadsheet defended in PDFs. With Hive: every BoP adjustment is a signed receipt with the telemetry hash it was derived from, the rule version that produced it, and the manufacturer counter-signatures of record. The decision shows its work.
Team and manufacturer names are placeholders. Replace with real entrants under NDA. The signed-receipt schema, verifier, and dashboard structure do not change.
Why the same artifact works for the FIA, NASCAR, and IMSA.
Three series. Three governance bodies. Three completely different commercial structures. One thing is identical: each one needs a way to prove an action happened, who authorized it, and that the proof survives the season. That is the entire job description of a Hive receipt.
| What the series needs to prove | Formula 1 | NASCAR | IMSA |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who acted | Team CFO signs the cost-cap return | Team sponsorship desk attests the placement | Manufacturer technical director countersigns BoP |
| What happened | Quarterly spend by category against $135M cap | Decal time, broadcast time, social impressions | Telemetry-derived performance — lap delta, fuel use, tire load |
| The chain held | March return matches June review matches September penalty | CMO check matches activation matches audited report | Telemetry matches rule version matches BoP table matches grid result |
Same three words. Different paddock.
If a technical director, a CMO, or a series president asks what Hive does in one sentence, this is the sentence. Same three words as ICE. Different paddock.
Trust. Every signer is a real entity: a team CFO, a sponsorship desk, a manufacturer technical director, a sanctioning-body steward. Not a wallet address. A regulated identity with a DID, an Ed25519 public key, and a published revocation path.
Provenance. Every action carries a canonical JSON body, hashed with RFC 8785 JCS, signed end-to-end. Cost-cap entries reference invoices. Sponsor placements reference broadcast frames. BoP adjustments reference telemetry hashes. Nothing floats.
Continuity. The receipt the FIA reads, the receipt the team holds, the receipt the manufacturer countersigns, and the receipt the sponsor audits are the same receipt. The chain is verifiable in a browser end-to-end. No counterparty can drop the baton without leaving a hole the offline verifier finds in seconds.
Five answers, kept short.
Why now? The F1 cost cap goes from $135M to $215M in 2026 with two independent development tracks. No manual process survives that scrutiny. NASCAR sponsorship is a $1.5B annual market with no per-placement receipt. IMSA BoP is the most litigated single call in sports cars and has no court-grade artifact behind it.
Are you replacing the FIA, NASCAR, or IMSA? No. We are giving each of them an artifact they can stand behind. The sanctioning body still rules. Hive issues the receipt the ruling was based on.
What does year one look like? One series, one workflow, 90 days. F1: a cost-cap submission and one quarterly review. NASCAR: one car, one race weekend, full sponsor stack. IMSA: one event, one BoP cycle. After that, configuration.
What does it cost the team? A signing key and a mirror endpoint. The receipt format is open. The verifier is open. Hive does not sit in the trade path or the race operations path.
What happens if Hive disappears tomorrow? Every receipt issued before that moment remains verifiable. Ed25519 is a public standard. RFC 8785 is a public standard. The verifier is open source. The receipt outlives the company that minted it. That is the whole point.
Three pages. Same receipt.
If you take one line from this page.
Trust is who signed. Provenance is what the car did. Continuity is the proof that the season held.
Hive ships all three under one signed receipt every team, sponsor, manufacturer, and sanctioning body on the paddock already wanted to issue. It does not change the race-control path. It does not displace the FIA, NASCAR, or IMSA. It is the artifact the four parties in every dispute have been arguing without.
