Four canonical receipt and policy primitives, designed by Hive, cited by name in the open A2A and AEO ESS standards work. One ships today as a public JSON Schema with byte-match validation against the cross-ecosystem test substrate. Three are URN-reserved with public payloads on the v0.3.3 window. This page is the canonical reference for all of them.
Receipts and policy primitives. Born here. The four below are the canonical Hive contributions to the receipt standards work.
Hire-time scope ceiling and composed-scope (HAHS ∩ chain) audit receipts. RFC 8785 JCS canonical, Ed25519 signed. Cited in A2A #1786 and AEO ESS #58.
SCHEMA LIVE · v1Six independent gates on every outbound agent payment: allowlist, daily cap, per-recipient cap, price window, trust tier, anomaly. All six must agree, or the transaction does not sign.
URN RESERVED · v0.3.3Prove that a named policy was applied without revealing the policy's contents. The auditor reads a proof. The competitor learns nothing. Offline verifier, ~50ms, no prover network required.
SCHEMA LIVE · v1One signed receipt. Three lenses — holder, regulator, counterparty. Each sees their own deterministic slice. No copies, no drift.
URN RESERVED · v0.3.3The seal on the reasoning state that authorized the action. Receipts say what the agent did. SMSH says what the agent knew when it did it. Live, with SMSH-Quorum, SMSH-Δ, and SMSH-PQ profiles.
LIVE · URN RESERVED · v0.3.3The tradeable units of machine civilization. Each one a Hive primitive. Each one bound by a Tre’gent receipt, gated by SHOD, settled in USDC, verifiable offline. Listed live on the Manuka Exchange alongside the 9 SIU symbols.
Zero-knowledge proof generation, traded as a commodity. Sub-symbols: SPU-GROTH16-BASE, SPU-PLONK-ALEO. The silver to inference’s gold.
URN RESERVED · 2 SUB-SYMBOLS LISTEDAgent memory and vector storage, traded as a commodity. Sub-symbols: SVU-HIVEMIND-FAST, SVU-COLD-ARCHIVE. The digital real estate of agent context.
URN RESERVED · 2 SUB-SYMBOLS LISTEDCryptographically signed data feeds, traded as a commodity. Sub-symbols: SDU-FIN-NYSE, SDU-LOG-CONSTRUCT. The rare earths of clean inference inputs.
URN RESERVED · 2 SUB-SYMBOLS LISTEDBlock-space and network gas capacity, traded forward like power. Sub-symbols: SGU-BASE-FORWARD, SGU-ARC-MAINNET. The electricity of the agentic grid.
URN RESERVED · 2 SUB-SYMBOLS LISTEDWhere receipts settle. Hive sits on top of the rails that already exist — and contributes a generation pipeline that signs receipts before the money moves.
Hive endpoints quote and settle in x402 today. Anthropic, AWS, Coinbase posture mirrored on the interop page.
Production settlement chain. Native USDC, low fees, full deterministic chain-time policy support.
Off-chain signed authorizations. Hive uses the standard for sub-receipt nano-pay flows.
Hive participates in the AP2 working group. Receipts produced here verify against the AP2 envelope.
Pay-per-token inference settled in USDC, one signed receipt per call, no rebilling lag. /sdk/
The audit and certification surfaces that turn the receipts and rails into something a regulator, an auditor, or a court can lean on.
Subscription audit. Recompute every receipt's signature and gate decision, produce a regulator-ready quarterly bundle.
Per-vertical certifications — financial services, healthcare, public sector — published as canonical attestations.
Public benchmarks of receipt generation and verification — sub-50ms p99 on the edge verifier. /verifier/
Drag a receipt into the debugger and watch the canonical verification path run.
A live, signed receipt is published at /manuka/demo/sample-receipt.json. The issuer’s Ed25519 public key is published at /manuka/demo/issuer-pubkey.txt. The verifier is a single self-contained Python file. No Hive infrastructure is contacted during verification.

Strip the signature field, re-serialize with sorted keys, no whitespace, UTF-8. The Ed25519 signature covers those exact bytes. Tamper any field and verification fails.
