Evidence built to last for regulated AI transactions.
Standard Hive receipts prove everyday agent to agent commerce works. Hive-PQ goes further. It adds crypto-agile history tracking, sealed evidence, dual signatures, and a post-quantum-ready check for workflows that might get pulled into an audit, a regulator review, a lawsuit, or a system change years from now.
You don't need Hive-PQ for every agent call.
For everyday agent commerce, Hive Standard is fast, easy to check, and cheap to run. But for regulated work where you might need to defend the evidence months or years later, Hive-PQ adds a premium, crypto-agile layer on top. RubricMesh picks the right tier automatically, based on the industry, the jurisdiction, the risk level, and how long you need to keep the record.
Hive Standard. Hive Pro. Hive-PQ.
It's one platform with three levels of proof. Every transaction runs on the same rails. What changes is how strong the proof is. RubricMesh picks the right level for you. You keep your brand, your customer relationship, and your margin.
Fast, checkable agent commerce.

Hive-PQ doesn't replace Spectral-ZK, SMSH, SHOD, or HKTN. It builds on them, adding a crypto-agile evidence layer built for the long haul that turns on automatically for the transactions that need it.
Spectral-ZK
Spectral-ZK proves the policy or rubric statement at the moment of the transaction. Hive-PQ keeps that proof around in a long-term evidence profile, so anyone can still check the same statement independently even after the underlying cryptography changes.
SMSH-PQ: sealed evidence mode
SMSH-PQ adds post-quantum-ready sealed envelopes for sensitive data, ViewKey material, and auditor-only evidence access. It's built to support ML-KEM and Kyber-class envelopes once the full integration ships.
SHOD-PQ: declaration and signature mode
SHOD-PQ gives long-term declarations a dual-signature profile. You get today's classical Ed25519 signature plus post-quantum-ready signature metadata. You can check the receipt with classical tools today, and it's ready to move to PQ tools when the time comes.
HKTN: clearance profiles
HKTN now supports three clearance profiles: standard, enterprise, and pq_regulated. Regulated agents can carry a Hive-PQ clearance profile so the long-term history and audit-grade evidence carry through.
Rosetta: PQ recommendation
Rosetta now flags when a transaction likely needs Hive-PQ, based on risk level, jurisdiction, how long you need to keep it, customer type, and how sensitive the evidence is. That decision gets captured in the receipt itself, not added on afterward.
Prospector: PQ opportunity detection
Prospector flags high-value regulated opportunities where Hive-PQ can slot right into your premium product as a long-term assurance tier, without it looking like some separate vendor line item.
The tool that decides Standard, Pro, or PQ.
RubricMesh looks at the industry, jurisdiction, transaction type, risk level, how long you need to keep the record, how sensitive the evidence is, the policy environment, and the settlement type. Then it locks the answer into the receipt as a rubric fingerprint. The proof tier becomes a signed, declared part of the transaction.
Rosetta translates. Prospector spots the opportunity. HKTN adds context. RubricMesh picks the proof tier. Spectral-ZK proves it. SMSH seals it. SHOD signs it. And Hive-PQ keeps the evidence safe for the long term when the transaction calls for it.
Hive-PQ lives inside your regulated premium offering, not next to it.
We priced Hive-PQ as a premium assurance tier on purpose, but your buyer never sees it as some random extra line item. You keep the brand, the customer relationship, the pricing power, and the margin. Hive supplies the long-term proof, history tracking, sealing, verification, and evidence layer underneath it all.
You can charge more for a product that holds up to a regulator. Your audit, compliance, and renewal headaches go down. You close deals faster with banks, government, and enterprise legal teams. Hive-PQ is a small, built-in infrastructure cost inside your own premium tier, not a separate line item that shows up on procurement's radar.
Most agent transactions don't need Hive-PQ. Regulated ones do. Your buyer just experiences a stronger version of your product. You keep the margin.
What's LIVE, what's PILOT, what's ROADMAP.
We're not going to blur the line between a demo and real production cryptography. The platform you already know is live today. The PQ evidence profile ships as a pilot. The full Kyber and Dilithium integration is on our roadmap.
Hive Standard rails
Spectral-ZK receipts, Ed25519 signatures, BLAKE3 anchoring, SHOD, SMSH, HKTN, x402 and USDC settlement records, and an offline verifier. In production today.
Hive-PQ evidence profile
The Hive-PQ receipt profile, PQ history metadata, dual-signature receipt structure, SMSH-PQ sealed envelope profile, SHOD-PQ declaration profile, RubricMesh PQ routing, and a regulator and auditor verifier mode.
You can turn this on per call with profile=pq on /v1/receipt/emit. It's $0.0012 per call, about 7 years of retention, crypto-agile metadata, and an auditor-verifier mode. Schema r1.0.0.
Formal PQ integration
Full ML-DSA and Dilithium-class signature integration, full ML-KEM and Kyber-class envelope integration, an outside cryptography review, testing against other post-quantum verifiers, an enterprise crypto-agility policy pack, and a rubric registry built for each customer.
