Official sports data is now the settlement layer for regulated event contracts. Monitoring tells you when a data point looks wrong. It can't prove to an outside party that a settling outcome was never touched. A record you generate about your own feed is just a claim, not evidence. Hive signs every official outcome with an independent post-quantum receipt. Nobody can fake it, anyone can check it offline, and it comes from a neutral party with no data rights and no betting position.
Pick a sample event contract. Settle it against an official outcome, sign that outcome with the live ML-DSA-65 endpoint, check it on your own, then relabel the outcome and watch the check fail. This same receipt works underneath your monitoring stack.
Step 1 of 3: settle the contract and sign the official outcome.
This is a demo only. Hive signs a sample settlement record. Hive does not run a market, set odds, take bets, or touch funds.
Every integrity layer in the prediction-market stack produces a record that the operator controls. That's exactly what breaks down when someone disputes a settlement.
The official feed moves the data the contract settles against. Just because the data arrives doesn't prove the value that arrived matches the value that was sent.
Anomaly detection flags suspicious patterns after the fact. That flag is just a guess the operator makes. It's not a record an outside party can check.
Operator logs record what the operator says happened. A log you can edit is just a statement about yourself. It's not independent proof.
Hive signs each settling data point and AI-derived stat with an independent ML-DSA-65 receipt. Nobody can fake it, and anyone with the published public key can check it on their own. It comes from a party with no data rights and no betting position. This is not a better version of monitoring. It's a different thing entirely. It does not replace surveillance. It sits underneath it and makes the result provable to a regulator, a counterparty, or a court.
A receipt you issue about yourself is not evidence. It is a claim. An independent signature is the difference between “trust our monitoring” and “check it yourself.”
We capture the official outcome as a typed fragment set and sign it with one ML-DSA-65 signature. That signature locks in the exact value, the source, and the timestamp.
→ one post-quantum receiptAnyone can check the receipt using only the published public key. No call to Hive, no access to your feed, and no need to trust the platform.
→ VALID in microsecondsChange one character of the settling outcome and check it again. The receipt fails right away. A self-declared monitoring flag can't catch that on its own.
→ INVALID, immediatelyHive holds no data rights to any league or feed. We have nothing to gain from the outcome we sign.
Hive does not run a market, set prices, or take bets. We sign the record. We never decide it.
Checking the receipt only needs the published public key. A regulator or counterparty can check it without trusting you or us.
The June 10, 2026 proposed framework treats sports event contracts as permissible when settlement relies on objective, league-verified data backed by real integrity infrastructure. As official data becomes the settlement layer across MLB, NHL, MLS, and UFC, the standard is quietly shifting from “did you monitor it” to “can you prove the settling value was never touched.” An independent signature is the answer to that question.
No platform seat, no per-event minimum, no integration fee. We sign one independent receipt each time a market resolves against the feed. It's priced at a fraction of a basis point of the notional that settles against it.
Slide to your annual settlement volume. The cost is computed across the bands above.
For context, regulated prediction-market taker fees run around 300 basis points. An independent settlement receipt at a fraction of one basis point is the cheapest line item in the resolution path, and it's the only one a regulator can check without trusting the operator.
We sign a sample feed live and give your team an endpoint to check it on their own. No access to your systems needed. If it holds up, we'll scope a one-feed pilot you can take to your league partners.
