Hive protocol // carrier detected

HIVE

Inscribed logic.
Living data.

A coordination layer that lets one ordinal call permanent on-chain code, reach the live web through a bounded runtime, and render the answer inside itself.

01 / SIGNAL ANATOMY

One request.
Six mutations.

Hive separates permanent intent from live execution. The inscription stays small. The result stays alive.

TRANSMISSION PATH01 — COLONY REQUEST
01
Colony request

An ordinal declares the Drone inscription ID and the parameters it needs. No duplicate runtime code is required.

BASE UNIT

Drone

An individual smart contract: public, immutable Starlark code inscribed directly on Bitcoin.

THE BRAIN

Hivemind

The indexer and bounded runtime that reads Drones, executes their logic, and carries state back.

VISIBLE LIFE

Colony

A Drone—or coordinated set of Drones—put to use inside another ordinal as a working experience.

02 / FIELD ORGANISMS

Not demos.
Proof of life.

Hive logic already leaves Bitcoin, touches the live world, and returns with something useful—without making every inscription carry the whole machine.

COLONY / 002

HIVEDEX

One inscribed Drone. Live species data, localization, evolution intelligence, and pixel sprites from PokéAPI.

PRICE SIGNAL

A currency-selectable Bitcoin feed powered by an inscribed Drone and a public market API.

FORM / ADAPTIVE

ANY VESSEL

The same Colony reorganizes itself from full terminal to tiny square organism.

03 / CONTAINMENT CORE

Reach the world.
Not the machine.

Drones get useful network access without inheriting a server. No shell. No filesystem. No raw sockets. No private network.

ACTIVE CONSTRAINTS

  • 01
    Language-level isolation

    Starlark has no process, filesystem, dynamic module, or raw network capabilities.

  • 02
    Network egress broker

    HTTPS requests pass through SSRF defenses, redirect denial, method controls, and response caps.

  • 03
    Hard resource ceilings

    Time, instructions, allocations, calls, concurrency, rate, and final result size are all bounded.

  • 04
    Public source integrity

    The Hivemind executes the Drone at its canonical inscription ID and returns its source hash.

04 / COMPOSITION RITUAL

Inscribe once.
Compose forever.

A Drone is permanent logic. A Colony decides what that logic becomes today.

  1. 01

    Write the Drone

    Define parameters, call public APIs through the broker, and return compact JSON.

    def main(params):
  2. 02

    Inscribe the logic

    Publish the Starlark source as text and receive its immutable inscription ID.

    text/plain
  3. 03

    Reference Hive

    Embed the master inscription and pass it the Drone ID plus parameters.

    postMessage()
  4. 04

    Grow a Colony

    Render the returned data as art, utility, intelligence, or something stranger.
