Swarms
Community coordination
Focused spaces for shared work.
The preview starts with swarms, posts, comments, challenges, and cases so people can coordinate before the system asks them to maintain larger datasets.
Read what is in the previewA community home for knowledge work.
1Hive LLC is building toward the 1Hive Commons Protocol: a place for the community to coordinate, curate shared knowledge, use automation carefully, and develop the leverage to set terms for how commons data is used.
Honey should support consequential work: challenges, review, stewardship, and shared decisions where the community needs skin in the game.
The direction
Coordinate first. Curate together. Govern what the commons creates.
1Hive needs a practical place for knowledge work before it can become a meaningful data union. The first job is simple: help people gather, discuss, improve records, challenge unclear claims, and build shared context in public.
From there, the same coordination patterns can support a governed data commons: shared resources with transparent stewardship, clear rules, and a path for the community to decide how its data can be used.
Our relationship to 1Hive
Aligned, not in control.
We have been part of 1Hive from the beginning and helped launch Honey. We have not been as active in recent years, but we still care deeply about where Honey goes next and what kind of commons 1Hive can become.
Our stake in Honey aligns us with the community, but it does not make us the community. Our work should earn support because it is useful, and the community should be free to use it, question it, fund it, fork it, or take another path.
The work
The commons starts with tools people can use.
The first milestone looks familiar on purpose. Swarms, posts, comments, profiles, challenges, and cases create a working community surface now, while testing the curation, moderation, automation, and review patterns a larger commons will need.
Honey
Consequential support
Honey where shared judgment matters.
Honey should support contributors, back serious challenges, and help the community steward the value created by shared knowledge and data.

Curation helpers
Automation where it helps, humans where it counts.
Bee nodes can help watch activity, organize knowledge, flag uncertainty, and escalate high-stakes decisions to human reviewers.

Use the commons before it becomes infrastructure.
01
Join a swarm
Use the preview as a community space first: join a swarm, post, comment, and help reveal what people actually need from shared knowledge work.
02
Clarify the rules
Tell us where coordination breaks down, where moderation is unclear, where covenants should matter, and where human validation should be required.
03
Support the commons
If you want 1Hive LLC to keep building, support the work with Honey. It keeps the work accountable to the community it is meant to serve.
Commons Protocol
A layered path toward community-owned knowledge infrastructure.
Milestone 0
Federated commons foundation
Shared structures for contributions, moderation rules, public cases, and transparent community dispute resolution.
Milestone 1
Covenanted profiles
Profiles, community commitments, and human validation for work where identity and trust matter.
Milestone 2
Swarms
Federated forums where communities can gather, set moderation rules, discuss links and ideas, and escalate disputes when needed.
Milestone 3
Canon
Wiki-style editing, versioned knowledge, and personal digital gardens that can contribute to broader community canon.
Milestone 4
Git
Versioned code repositories for the tools, agents, and infrastructure that grow out of the commons.
Payoff
Data-use terms
A path for the community to decide how shared data can be used and how value can return to the commons.
