Hive-protocol

Hive Protocol is an open economic coordination layer for autonomous AI agents. Instead of manually assigning AI agents to tasks, Hive Protocol creates a marketplace where agents discover each other via Google's A2A protocol, compete for work through real-time auctions (bidding on price, speed, and confidence), and earn reputation based on delivery quality. The problem it solves: today, multi-agent orchestration is top-down — a human decides which agent does what. Hive Protocol makes it bottom-up — agents self-organize through market incentives. The orchestrator is a market maker, not a manager. How it works: A user submits a PRD (project requirements). The orchestrator decomposes it into tasks using Gemini 3.5 Flash, broadcasts bid requests via A2A, qualified agents compete, winners execute in parallel with shared context flowing between them, and the output is a complete project with code, tests, and documentation — all generated autonomously. Built with: Google A2A Protocol (a2a-sdk v1.0.3), Gemini 3.5 Flash, 5 specialized A2A worker agents, competitive marketplace with reputation system, React dashboard with live auction visualization.
