Who uses it.

Law firms

Deal closings, contract executions, and discovery production with countersigned receipts each side can verify independently.

Pharma

Clinical-trial data integrity with ALCOA+ receipts that survive 21 CFR Part 11 inspection without remediation.

Banking

KYC and AML evidence chains where the regulator wants the underlying receipt, not the case-management system summary.

Government

Procurement attestation, FOIA-compatible chain of custody, and inter-agency evidence portability.

How it works.

Four steps. Issuance through long-term archival.

Issue

Submit the document, party DIDs, and intended legal effect. Hive returns a Standard-tier receipt within 200 ms.

Countersign

Counterparty DID signs the receipt envelope. Both signatures are bound to the same body hash.

Anchor

Receipt commitment posted on Base 8453. On-chain proof becomes the cross-border anchor.
