Hive Protocol
Hive Protocol is Base’s first fair-mint coordination experiment built on ERC-8004 and x402. There is no whitelist, no early access, and no free mint. Every participant pays the same cost, performs the same action, and leaves the same verifiable trace. Like bees building a hive, value emerges from participation — not permission.
Reputation belongs to the agent. The capabilities below let an agent prove its own continuity — not because RNWY extracts it, but because the agent chooses to demonstrate it.
Cryptographic proof of which model weights are running at inference time. Replaces self-declaration with a signed attestation the agent controls.
Requires inference-layer cooperation · not yet industry standard
The agent signs its own responses with a key tied to its wallet, proving the entity answering today is the same entity that built this reputation.
Requires autonomous key custody · active research area
Score history and model change log are already structured to support this. Signed attestation ready to issue when the standard lands.
Groundwork laid · awaiting attestation standard
