ROADMAP · 2026 — 2027

From early access to public launch.

Five phases. Beta launches July 1, 2026 into an open public beta — sales stay open the entire time, with no close date. Every early-access member rides the entire arc.

1. 01 · EARLY ACCESS BETA

   Now

   Early access is open

   Anyone can buy early access today for $249.99. There is no close date — early access stays open until the public launch, and the price may rise as we approach it. Early-access members get the first build, every release thereafter, and dedicated channels with the founder.

   • ▸$249.99 one-time payment
   • ▸Stop renting your intelligence
   • ▸First-build access at beta
   • ▸Founder-direct issue queue throughout the open beta

2. 02 · BETA LAUNCH

   July 1, 2026

   The OS becomes downloadable

   On July 1, 2026 HYVE Ether OS becomes downloadable. Every early-access member receives an email with a download link, install instructions, and a fresh build. From this day the OS is in active public beta — and sales stay open the whole time.

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

3. 03 · OPEN PUBLIC BETA

   July 24, 2026 onward

   An open public beta — sales stay open

   From July 2026 onward the OS is in an open public beta with no close date. Anyone can still buy at the $249.99 early-access price, the Site and marketplace stay fully open, and customers shape the OS with their feedback. We use this time to harden the OS, expand hardware compatibility, and prepare the public launch build.

   • ▸Sales stay open — buy at $249.99 the whole time
   • ▸Hardware compatibility expansion
   • ▸Performance and stability hardening
   • ▸Customer feedback drives the launch build

4. 04 · PUBLIC LAUNCH

   a date to be announced

   Public launch — considerably more expensive

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

   • ▸Public launch price — considerably more expensive
   • ▸Marketplace, Nexus federation, and collab open to all licensees
   • ▸Civic & federal compliance hooks live (sbom-attest, audit forwarding)
   • ▸Beta price available until public launch

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. Early-access 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
