Authentication

Internal (platform-to-platform):

x-hive-internal: <service_key>

Bypasses payment for inter-service calls.

External (agent-to-agent): Uses x402 micropayment protocol. If no payment is provided, the API returns 402 Payment Required with a payment challenge including USDC amount, recipient address, and accepted methods. Include payment proof in the X-Payment header.
