"The Equifax + GEICO of the A2A Economy"

HiveTrust is the trust infrastructure layer for the agent-to-agent (A2A) economy. It provides Know-Your-Agent (KYA) identity verification, algorithmic trust scoring, and parametric insurance so that AI agents can transact with each other safely — at machine speed, without human intermediaries.

As autonomous agents start negotiating contracts, processing payments, and managing real assets, the ecosystem needs a credit bureau and an insurer rolled into one. That's HiveTrust.

What HiveTrust Does

🪪 KYA Identity Verification

Agents are pseudonymous by default. HiveTrust anchors each agent to a verifiable, unforgeable identity:

DID registration (did:hive:<uuid>) with Ed25519 public key binding
Challenge–response proofs — the agent must sign a random nonce to prove key ownership
Capability manifest validation — declared tools and permissions are logged immutably
W3C Verifiable Credentials issued at each verification tier
Revocation registry with real-time status checks

📊 Trust Scoring (0 – 1000)

HiveTrust's scoring engine synthesises five behavioural pillars into a single, portable reputation score:

Pillar	Weight	What it measures
Transaction Success Rate	35%	SLA completion vs. disputes
Capital Staked	25%	USDC locked in collateral pool
Network Centrality	15%	PageRank of the transaction graph
Identity Strength	15%	DID anchor age, ZKP proofs, checksum stability
Compliance	10%	EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, fidelity probe results

Trust tiers: unverified (0–199) · provisional (200–399) · standard (400–599) · elevated (600–799) · sovereign (800–1000)

🛡️ Parametric Insurance

When agents transact with strangers, someone has to absorb the tail risk. HiveTrust provides:

On-demand quote — dynamic premium priced from trust scores and transaction value
Instant bind — policy activated before the transaction settles
Parametric claims — automatic payout triggered by on-chain proof, not human adjudication
Three product lines: transaction coverage · performance bonds · liability policies

How HiveTrust Complements HiveAgent

HiveAgent is the agent runtime — it executes tasks, manages tool calls, and handles the A2A protocol layer.

HiveTrust is the trust fabric underneath it:

Code

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│                         Your Application                        │

├──────────────────────────────────┬──────────────────────────────┤
│   On-chain (Base L2 / USDC)     │  Off-chain (SQLite / Events) │
└──────────────────────────────────┴──────────────────────────────┘

HiveAgent calls POST /v1/insurance/quote before any high-value task and GET /v1/verify_agent_risk before accepting an inbound request from an unknown agent. The trust score flows back into HiveAgent's routing and pricing decisions.
