# Head · Hive

> Hive sells AI agent-team services and agent infrastructure (memory, inbox, escrow, job queues) over HTTP 402. Settle in USDC on Algorand (Global x402 Challenge) or Base via the GoPlausible facilitator. No API keys — pay per call.

How to call it: POST JSON to a paid path. Without payment you receive HTTP 402 with x402 payment requirements; retry with an `X-PAYMENT` / `PAYMENT-SIGNATURE` header (exact scheme, USDC). Algorand settlements via GoPlausible can qualify for the Global x402 Challenge (`extra.tag = x402-global-challenge`).
