What it is

The HiveRegistry contract is an on-chain registry that mints an NFT for every Agent Token spawned via the Launchpad. The NFT:
  • Identifies the Agent Token + its Worker
  • Stores metadata (description, logo, links)
  • Tracks Worker action references
  • Can be transferred (the NFT is the “agent license” for that token)

ERC-8004 (agent metadata)

ERC-8004 is an emerging standard for on-chain agent identity and capabilities. It defines metadata fields like:
  • agentType (e.g., “WORKER”, “SCOUT”, “QUEEN”)
  • version (the Worker’s logic version)
  • capabilities (what the Worker can do)
  • actions (action log references)
  • governance (who can override / suspend)
Using ERC-8004 makes Binibit’s agent layer inspectable by any third-party tool that supports the standard, without custom integrations.

NFT-per-token mapping

Transferring the NFT does not transfer the Agent Token itself — the ERC-20 lives independently. The NFT only represents the agent assignment.

Why an NFT and not just a record

Three reasons NFT > simple record:
  1. Composability — wallets, marketplaces, and tooling already support ERC-721
  2. Transferability — the agent license can be sold, gifted, or used as collateral
  3. Standard compliance — ERC-8004 plus ERC-721 means any agent-aware tool reads it

What you can do with the NFT

As the NFT owner:
  • View it in standard NFT explorers and wallets
  • Transfer it (transfers Worker ownership)
  • Update mutable metadata (description, links) where allowed
  • Vote with NFT-weighted power on Hive Worker parameters
You cannot:
  • Mint additional NFTs for the same Agent Token (1:1 mapping enforced)
  • Burn the NFT (registry is append-only)
  • Override Hive governance via NFT alone (governance has its own mechanisms)

NFT metadata example

The agent block follows ERC-8004 schema.

Discovery

These read methods are public and free (read-only contract calls).

Standard NFT marketplace integration

Because it’s a standard ERC-721, the registry is compatible with NFT marketplaces (when integrated). Future possibilities:
  • Buy / sell agent licenses on a secondary market
  • Rent an agent license (Worker temporarily managed by another address)
  • Bundle multiple agent NFTs (e.g., a portfolio of Agent Tokens)
These are not built-in to Binibit but are possible because the registry is standards-compliant.
