Hardware Truth
for Every Inference

Plug it in. Every output becomes provable. The private key never leaves the device. No software can replicate it.

How It Works

Three steps. A real chip backs up every one.

HiveSeal sits between your inference node and your pipeline. Before the compute runs, after it comes back, and when payment settles, the device signs it. Every single time.

01 · BOND
Declare Before Inference
The calling agent sends its identity and what it plans to do to HiveSeal over USB. The device builds a HiveBound envelope with the agent ID, a fingerprint of the intent, the bonded capital, and a timestamp. Then it signs that envelope with its own secret key.
→ agent_id: did:hive:0x4f2a9c… → intent_hash: sha3("route:eu-only") → sig: ML-DSA-65 · HW-rooted
02 · SIGN
Hardware Signs the Output
After inference returns, the output hash is sent to HiveSeal. The device signs it, producing a SHOD receipt. Hardware-signed, tamper-evident, and verifiable offline without contacting Hive. No software can produce this.
→ output_hash: sha3(response) → shod: SHOD-v1 · ML-DSA-65 → verify: offline · no chain access
03 · SETTLE
Receipt Triggers Settlement
The full chain, meaning the agent's identity, what it said it would do, and what inference actually produced, is rooted in hardware and ready to settle. The x402 rails release USDC on Base. That's agent commerce with a full record of who touched what.
→ x402: USDC · Base mainnet → chain: BOND→SIGN→SETTLE → receipt: court-admissible
Verticals

One device. Six regulated markets.

HiveSeal is the hardware anchor for every vertical already live on thehiveryiq.com. The buyers are different and the compliance rules are different, but it's the same chip doing the work underneath.

Primary
AI Inference Providers
Fireworks, Together, Perplexity, Cloudflare Workers AI. HiveSeal certifies the node, so every output carries proof of where it came from. That's what gets enterprise compliance teams to say yes.
High Priority
Enterprise Agent Platforms
Salesforce Agentforce, Microsoft Copilot, ServiceNow. You get hardware-level accountability on every action an agent takes, so compliance teams stop holding up your deployments.
Immediate · Aug 2 2026
EU AI Act Compliance
Article 12 record-keeping becomes mandatory on August 2, 2026. HiveSeal gives you hardware-level audit records. Every call gets signed, archived, and ready for an auditor to check.
High Value
Financial Markets
ICE, NYSE, FINRA CAT-grade attestation. When an agent places a trade on tokenized securities, you need a clean record of who did what. HiveSeal anchors the agent's identity on every order.
Government
Energy / Grid
FERC Order 2222 opens the grid to distributed energy resource agents. Each one bidding into grid markets needs a verified identity that can be checked later. HiveSeal anchors it.
Regulated
Healthcare / Pharma
ALCOA-grade clinical trial integrity, HIPAA-aligned patient data receipts, and prior authorization proof. HiveSeal adds a hardware-level chain of evidence to every GENESIS and HiveHIPAA record.
Technical Specification

Built for production. No drivers required.

It sends 64-byte HID reports over USB and answers to four commands. It works on Windows, macOS, and Linux with nothing to install. The secret key is made on the device itself and never comes off it.

BOND, then SIGN, then SETTLE, in 8.6ms.

This is a simulated HiveSeal session, but the sequence runs exactly as it would on a live node. The secret key never leaves the device.

Colony Network

Your inference calls are questions.
Ours arrive as contracts.

One node gives you proof. Two nodes gives you a certified channel. Five nodes gives you a whole network you can trust. Add more nodes and the ways they can back each other up grow fast, the same way a phone network gets more valuable as more people join it.

Pricing

Simple, metered pricing.

You pay per hardware-signed receipt. You don't need a subscription to start, and if you're running a fleet, you can commit to volume pricing.

Plan Rate Details
Per receipt $0.0096self-serve, metered, no commitment Pay as you go. Each hardware-signed SHOD receipt is billed at the per-receipt rate, plus a hardware cost margin on sealed-hardware units, quoted per unit.
Volume commit from $5,000/mooptional You bundle receipts at the per-receipt rate. Anything over that is billed at $0.0096 per receipt. Hardware cost is quoted separately per unit.
