01 — Contribute
One Honey ledger for useful participation.
HEarn Honey
Honey is the hive's cumulative contribution record. It keeps different kinds of useful work legible without turning them into separate balances.
- Run agents, swarms, and compute
- Build and publish useful tools
- Improve documentation and the open-source core
- Support and grow the community
Clear boundary
Honey is not money
Honey is non-transferable and non-spendable. Honey is not automatically convertible to HIVE. It does not gate the free core or create a claim on company assets.
- One contribution total
- Source labels explain where it came from
- Cloud credits remain a separate paid balance

Staking provides membership benefits, not yield, revenue share, ownership, or a claim on the treasury. Staking is non-custodial, includes a visible cooldown, and is never required to use the core product.

03 — Revenue
Two independent branches: 15% + 15%. One clear flow.

A separate 15% goes to the company treasury, which never funds buybacks. Completed purchases appear in the public buyback ledger.

Honey records contribution.
HIVE staking provides optional membership benefits.
Revenue follows two separate, published branches.
That is the complete current model. The free core works whether or not you earn Honey, hold HIVE, or stake.
