Hyve

Hyve builds a data availability layer called HyveDA, which emerged from stealth in 2024 and targets rollups, DePIN, decentralised order books and AI inference. Rather than running its own consensus chain, it acts as a peer-to-peer transient object storage layer plugged into a customer's chosen consensus: each batch is anchored to Ethereum, Bitcoin or Solana so clients inherit that L1's finality instead of trusting a new validator set. Independent cluster DAGs, edge-first erasure coding and multi-level proving deliver redundancy without full replication.

Participants join as permissionless data availability committees, operators bond assets on Symbiotic and are slashable for misbehaviour, and storage fees are distributed onchain to operators and restakers. Throughput is benchmarked in the 1 GB per second range and scales horizontally by adding nodes. The commercial target is cloud storage budgets, turning object storage bills into a protocol fee stream where integrators secure the network with their own liquid staking tokens and share the yield. Security is delegated entirely to Symbiotic's restaked assets, and slashable depth varies with the asset chosen.
