Hive
The Hive is the desktop Propolis runs in: a tab with a miner, an encrypted vault, agents, the ledger and a terminal. No install and no account.
Boot
Open the Hive. The boot reads the GPU through WebGPU, loads the issuer key, recomputes its id from the key itself and compares it with the key pinned on Robinhood Chain. If they differ, the miner does not start.
Mine
The Mine app runs the SHA-256 kernel on the GPU, falling back to CPU workers when WebGPU is missing. It shows the hashrate, the shares found against the current request, and, when a token is minted, the blinded request the issuer signed next to the token you now hold. They share nothing.
Vault
Tokens, agents and transcripts live in this browser's IndexedDB. Set a passphrase and the whole vault is sealed with AES-GCM 256 under a PBKDF2-SHA256 key (600,000 rounds); without one it is stored as is, on this device and nowhere else. Export writes your tokens to a file you can hand to an agent running somewhere else.
Ledger
The network totals, the anchored hours with links to their transactions, and the pinned key.
