AFiR-ARSC · Adaptive Retrieval-grounded Settlement

Every fragment moves at its own speed toward proof.

grounded data gets signed and settled right away · everything else batches up and settles cheap · nothing acts before it's signed
T1 · RISE grounded data, signed right away, settled instantly T2 · FLOAT medium risk, signed off the main path, anchored in a batch T3 · SINK low risk, just a fingerprint, settles whenever RAG query MERKLE AGGREGATE Base · USDC
grounded event: rises, signed before it acts
medium risk: floats into a batch
low risk: sinks, settles whenever
time on the critical path 14 ms
anchor cost per query $0.000002
grounding proven 100%
Private by design. Hive does not store your prompts. Every request is already receipted by a one-way SHA-256 fingerprint, not the words. Proof, not surveillance.
