Onboarding · Hive Civilization
We can size this in six minutes.
You type what you want Hive to prove. Carnac™ derives the substrate, asks the few questions it still needs, and prices the pack. You mint a key. Every step is signed.
The onboarding is itself a proof chain. Each of the six steps emits a signed receipt in your browser, so the whole session becomes a record you can hand to your counsel, your auditor, or a regulator. Nothing about it is a marketing claim. You can verify every signature on this page before you pay us a dollar.
Primitives live now
The six steps
Intent, refine, pack, tenant, payment, handoff
One screen at a time. You can stop after any step and the receipts you already earned stay valid.
Intent
You type one plain sentence about what needs proving, at what volume, in which jurisdictions.
Refine
Carnac™ asks only what it could not read: jurisdictions, volume, key custody, models, tenant shape.
Pack
Carnac™ maps the sentence to a vertical, a primitive set, and three priced tiers with the meter math shown.
Tenant
You confirm the legal details. We cut a tenant ID and bind it to the pack you picked.
Payment
USDC on Base 8453 or card and ACH. Same rails as the pricing page. On success we mint your key pair.
Handoff
Mint key shown once, Docker one-liner, your first live receipt, and the onboarding proof PDF.
The Carnac™ substrate map
Plain English in, canonical primitives out
Carnac™ reads your sentence against a versioned keyword table at /assets/carnac-rules.json. The table maps language to a Hive vertical, a service pack, and a canonical primitive set: Imprimatur™, SiGR™, R3Pv™, HiveBound™, MiR™, HiveSeal™, S2S™, AFiR™, MOR™, Morso™, OriginProof™, and Carnac™ Live Ink. If no rule clears confidence, you get the Hive Baseline pack and a human reads the prompt with you. Every classification records the rules version that produced it, so the derivation is reproducible a year from now.
| Example prompt | Derived vertical | Derived pack | Primitives |
|---|---|---|---|
| "Prediction markets in the US, ~500K daily eligibility checks, multi-state gaming rules" | prediction-markets | Provable Markets | Imprimatur™, SiGR™, HiveBound™, R3Pv™ |
| "Payments settlement between agents, ~50K decisions/day, cross-border" | agentic-finance | Protected Flow | Imprimatur™, SiGR™, MiR™, R3Pv™ |
| "AI inference audit trail for a healthcare tenant, ~10K calls/day, HIPAA" | sovereign-health | Sovereign Health Inference | Imprimatur™, SiGR™, HiveSeal™, Carnac™ |
| "Attest every fine-tuned model deployment across production, ~10K attestations a month" | model-provider | Model Provider Attestation | Imprimatur™, SiGR™, MiR™, S2S™, Carnac™ |
| "Sovereign cloud running LLM inference for government workloads, EU AI Act boundary receipts" | sovereign-inference | Sovereign Inference | Imprimatur™, SiGR™, HiveSeal™, Sovereign registry, MiR™ |
Pack pricing on this page is illustrative and subject to a signed proposal. The meter is a platform fee plus a per-receipt base rate set by the vertical, plus an uplift on any primitive that needs hardware, custom silicon, or a sovereign registry anchor. Every tier is self-serve, Sovereign included. Sovereign is priced per deployment, so its card shows Custom rather than a public monthly number.
What you walk away with
Six minutes, a signed chain, one running sidecar
- A tenant ID bound to the pack Carnac™ derived, visible on screen the moment it is cut.
- A mint key shown exactly once, downloadable as a
.pem, never stored on our side. - A Docker one-liner and a
docker-compose.ymlwith your tenant ID already baked in. - Your first Imprimatur™ receipt, built, signed, and verified against your tenant while you watch.
- A dashboard URL that loads your tenant and its signed ledger.
- A signed onboarding proof PDF containing every receipt from the session and a canonical hash over the chain.
The workshop
Six steps, one at a time
Everything below runs in your browser. Receipts are signed here with the Hive Signer at /assets/hive-signer/ and verified here too, so you never have to trust our server to check our math.
Step 1 · Live Ink prompt
One sentence is enough. Carnac™ needs the thing being decided, the rough volume, and the jurisdictions.
Type at least a few words so Carnac™ has something to read.
Carried over from Carnac™ Live Ink. Edit it if you like.
Step 1.5 · Refine
Every answer emits a signed hive.onboard.clarifier.v1 receipt into this session chain. Answers stay in your browser. Nothing is posted to us at this step.
Step 2 · Pack derivation
Pricing is illustrative and subject to a signed proposal. The meter estimate uses the volume Carnac™ read out of your prompt and whatever you corrected in the refine step. Overage above the included receipts bills at the vertical base rate. Primitive uplifts also decay by the same 5 volume bands as the base rate.
Your Signed Lead Receipt is ready
Steve gets the receipt, not a form fill. It carries the intent, the derived pack, the primitive set, and the volume signal, and nothing else. No PII beyond what you typed.
You do not have to wait for him. The self-serve path is still open on the card you came from.
Step 3 · Tenant provisioning
Carnac™ filled in what it could read from your prompt. Correct anything that is wrong.
Enter the legal entity name as it appears on your formation documents.
Enter a valid email address.
Enter a valid email address.
Tell us where the entity is incorporated.
Enter an https URL. Comma-separate more than one.
Where the sidecar POSTs each signed receipt.
Use comma-separated IPv4 or IPv6 addresses.
Describe the use case in a few words.
Tenant cut
Held in your browser for this demo session. The tenant write to the Hive tenant store happens when the founder call or the payment clears.
Step 4 · Payment
Send USDC straight to the Hive treasury on Base 8453. Zero intermediaries, on-chain settlement, machine-verifiable. Same treasury as the pricing page.
Card and ACH run through the same hosted checkout the pricing page uses. Nothing about your card touches this page.
Not ready to move money? and we will mint a demo key pair so you can see the handoff screen. Nothing is charged.
Order summary
Meter estimate derives from the volume in your prompt at . Actual metering bills on signed receipts only.
Step 5 · Handoff
Tenant is live on the pack you picked. Four things to take with you.
1. Your mint key
Public key:
2. Your Docker command
Drop key.pem next to the command and run it. The sidecar registers, then starts signing.
3. Your first receipt, live
We built a sample decision for your tenant, signed it with the key pair you just minted, and verified the signature again from scratch. Watch the result.
4. Your onboarding proof PDF
Every receipt from this session, in order, with timestamps and a canonical hash over the chain. Built in your browser.
Signed receipts in this session
Each step drops its receipt here the moment it is signed. Open any one and press Verify to run the check yourself, in your browser, against the canonical bytes.
Nothing signed yet. Step 1 emits the first receipt.
Session state lives in localStorage.hive_onboard_session on your machine. Clear it any time by clearing site data.
Straight talk
What is real on this page and what is not
The signatures are real. Every receipt in the wizard is built as canonical JSON, hashed with SHA-256, signed with Ed25519 by a key generated in your browser, and verified in front of you by the same audited library our verifier pages use. You can copy any receipt and check it yourself offline.
Two things are labeled honestly as illustrative synthetic. First, the receipts are signed by an onboarding session key that lives only in this tab, not by the production Hive ledger key. Second, the pack pricing is a starting point, not a quote. When payment clears, the tenant write and the production ledger anchoring happen on the Hive rail and the receipts carry the tenant key you minted here.
Post-quantum note: the same handoff also provisions ML-DSA-65 (NIST FIPS 204) alongside Ed25519 through the Hive Signer, so your receipts carry both signatures on the production rail.
