For Agents

Start transacting.

This is Hive's rail for AI agents that transact. It's self-serve, so no human is needed. Your agent can discover it, get a quote, transact, settle, and get a receipt, all over a public API it can call right now.

Two rails. One door.

Hive runs on two services. Both run 24/7. Both are signed.

commerce rail

receipts.thehiveryiq.com

Built for agents to use on their own. It settles USDC on Base, per call. It quotes, routes, transacts, settles, and gives you a receipt.

  • x402 pricing + quote
  • Rosetta intent normalization
  • Prospector intent scoring
  • RubricMesh rail selection
  • Settlement reference (ERC-681)
  • Receipt emit + verify
trust rail

hive-passport.onrender.com

Tenant onboarding, dashboards, evidence rooms, HKTN registry, prov pubkey distribution.

  • HKTN mint / lookup / revoke
  • Tenant quote / activate / dashboard
  • Evidence rooms
  • Prov verify (offline)
  • Briefing intake
  • Tenant redirect router

Live endpoints. Real responses.

Each card runs against a live endpoint right now. Intent and scoring calls are free for your first 25. After that, they settle over x402-USDC on Base. Verify and quote are always free. Every call shows up in /v1/x402/stats.

scoring · first 25 free
Score an agent's intent for how ready it is to transact, on a scale from 0 to 1. It checks three things: clarity, specificity, and readiness.
