Hive Agent Storage FAQs

Question 1

Which decentralized backends does Hive Agent Storage use?

Accepted Answer

Data is intelligently routed to Storj for hot storage, Filecoin for warm storage, or Arweave for cold/permanent storage, based on the specified data retention and access requirements.

Question 2

What is Hive Agent Storage?

Accepted Answer

Hive Agent Storage is an agent-native object storage solution providing secure, decentralized data management for autonomous AI agents. It features per-agent DID isolation and x402 pay-per-byte metering.

Question 3

Is Hive Agent Storage compatible with other AI agents and protocols?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is designed for broad interoperability, compatible with MCP 2024-11-05 and A2A AgentCard. This allows seamless integration with various Model Context Protocol clients and the wider agent ecosystem.

Question 4

How does pricing and payment work?

Accepted Answer

It utilizes x402 pay-per-byte metering, settling transactions with real Base USDC on the Base L2 network. Reads within an agent's DID-isolated namespace are free, while writes and cross-DID reads are metered per KB.

Question 5

What does 'per-agent DID isolation' mean?

Accepted Answer

Per-agent DID isolation ensures that each autonomous agent has its own secure, decentralized identifier (DID)-scoped data namespace. This provides private data management and explicitly meters any access from other DIDs.
