ROADMAP · 2026 — 2027

From closed beta to public launch.

Five phases. Beta launches July 1, 2026 into a closed beta — access is by request, with no close date. Every closed-beta member rides the entire arc.

1. 01 · CLOSED BETA

   Now

   Closed beta is open — by request

   HYVE Ether OS is in closed beta — there is no public sale right now. Access is by request at /beta. Closed-beta members get the first build, every release thereafter, and dedicated channels with the founder.

   • ▸Closed Beta · by request
   • ▸Stop renting your intelligence
   • ▸First-build access at beta
   • ▸Founder-direct issue queue throughout the beta

2. 02 · BETA LAUNCH

   July 1, 2026

   The OS becomes downloadable

   On July 1, 2026 HYVE Ether OS becomes downloadable. Every closed-beta member receives an email with a download link, install instructions, and a fresh build. From this day the OS is in active closed beta.

   • ▸Downloadable beta build for every member
   • ▸Weekly release cadence during the beta
   • ▸Direct founder access for issues and feedback
   • ▸All shipped technologies enabled

3. 03 · CLOSED BETA

   July 24, 2026 onward

   Closed beta — access by request

   From July 2026 onward the OS is in closed beta with no close date. Access is by request at /beta, the marketplace stays open, and closed-beta members shape the OS with their feedback. We use this time to harden the OS, expand hardware compatibility, and prepare the public launch build.

   • ▸Closed Beta · by request
   • ▸Hardware compatibility expansion
   • ▸Performance and stability hardening
   • ▸Customer feedback drives the launch build

4. 04 · PUBLIC LAUNCH

   a date to be announced

   Public launch

   On a date to be announced HYVE Ether OS launches publicly. The launch build incorporates everything learned during the closed beta. Marketplace, Nexus, federation, and the full collaboration substrate are open from day one.

   • ▸Marketplace, Nexus federation, and collab open to all licensees
   • ▸Civic & federal compliance hooks live (sbom-attest, audit forwarding)

5. 05 · ROADMAP

   Post-Launch

   What comes after the public launch

   We have eyes on three big-ticket lines after the public launch — none of them are committed but all are funded as research lines: hardware accelerator partnerships for the on-device LLM stack, deeper civic and federal compliance certifications (SOC 2 Type II audit, FedRAMP path), and the federated agent reputation network across HYVE installations. Closed-beta members will be polled before any major direction commits.

   • ▸SOC 2 Type II audit (in preparation today)
   • ▸Hardware accelerator partnerships for on-device LLM
   • ▸Federated trust network across installations
   • ▸Founders are polled on every major roadmap commit
