✓CertNode Features Included
All AI Detection bundles include cryptographic receipts and CertNode features. No separate subscription needed.
AI Detection You Can Take to Court
Detect AI-generated images, deepfake videos, and synthetic content—then get legally binding cryptographic proof.
Unlike other AI detectors, every result includes tamper-proof receipts with RFC 3161 timestamps—designed to meet Federal Rules of Evidence 902(13-14) standards for court admissibility. Actual admissibility determined by the court.
Regular AI Detection Isn't Enough
When legal consequences are on the line, you need more than just a confidence score.
❌ Regular AI Detectors
- ×Results can be disputed: "You can't prove it"
- ×No timestamp: Can't prove when analysis happened
- ×Not tamper-proof: Results can be edited
- ×Not court-admissible: No legal standing
Real cases where better evidence was needed:
Hermès v. Rothschild (2022): $133K judgment over MetaBirkin NFTs. Evidence disputes delayed case.
Getty Images v. Stability AI (2024): $1.8B lawsuit over AI training data. Proving content provenance is key.
✓ CertNode AI Detection
- ✓Cryptographic proof: ES256 signatures (NIST-approved, tamper-proof)
- ✓Legal timestamps: RFC 3161 (court-admissible under FRE 902)
- ✓Public verification: Anyone can verify via /.well-known/jwks.json
- ✓Evidence packages: PDF exports ready for legal teams
How CertNode would apply:
In an NFT authenticity dispute, present: (1) Hive AI detection result (2) Cryptographic receipt proving analysis date (3) RFC 3161 timestamp from independent authority. The RFC 3161 timestamp is self-authenticating under FRE 902(13-14). AI detection results may require expert witness testimony to establish reliability under Daubert standard.
What You Actually Get
Not just AI detection. Legally defensible evidence packages.

Where Your $0.05-0.065 Goes
| Cost Component | Cost per Scan | What It Includes |
|---|---|---|
| Hive AI Detection | $0.003-0.01 | AI analysis using Hive's LAION-5B trained models. Volume discounts at scale. |
| Receipt Creation & Storage | $0.015-0.020 | Cryptographic signature generation (ES256), immutable storage, database writes, metadata indexing |
| RFC 3161 Timestamp | $0.002-0.005 | Third-party timestamp authority (FreeTSA/DigiStamp). Court-admissible proof of existence. |
| Evidence Packaging | $0.010-0.015 | PDF generation, JSON formatting, verification URLs, public key infrastructure (JWKS) |
| Infrastructure & Operations | $0.010-0.015 | 99.9% uptime SLA, CDN delivery, API rate limiting, monitoring, customer support |
| Total CertNode Cost | $0.050-0.065 | Full cryptographic verification + legal defensibility |
Volume Pricing Explained:
Higher volumes get $0.05/scan (Hive $0.003 + overhead $0.047). Lower volumes pay $0.065/scan (Hive $0.01 + overhead $0.055). Hive AI's base cost varies with volume.
Why the overhead matters:
The $0.047-0.055 overhead turns a "detection result" into "court-admissible evidence." One lawsuit prevented ($50K-1.8M) = 770K-36M scans worth of CertNode fees.
When Hive Direct Makes Sense vs When You Need CertNode
Use Hive AI Direct ($0.003-0.01) if:
- • Internal content moderation only
- • No legal/compliance requirements
- • Results won't be shown to third parties
- • You're just experimenting/testing
- • Cost is more important than defensibility
Use CertNode ($0.05-0.065) if:
- • Evidence for lawsuits/disputes
- • Compliance requirements (insurance, finance)
- • Third-party verification needed (customers, auditors)
- • Platform trust/authenticity guarantees
- • Defending against fraud/false claims
