What's behind the platform.
Hivenet is classified as Deep Tech by BPI France. The distributed architecture is developed in partnership with INRIA. The founding team brings 20+ years of infrastructure experience.
This page exists so you can verify every claim we make.
A Deep Tech company. Built with INRIA.
Hivenet holds the BPI France Deep Tech classification.
Distributed architecture developed in research partnership with INRIA.
Research with INRIA projects: Cupseli and Alvearium
Hivenet runs two active research partnerships with INRIA (French National Institute for Research in Digital Science and Technology).
Alvearium (2022-ongoing)
Secure, privacy-preserving, decentralized cloud storage. 7 peer-reviewed publications. Research covers erasure coding for data durability, P2P network security, distributed access control, and data consistency across nodes.
Selected publications:
Erasure Coding Aware Block Placement for Data-Intensive Applications — CHEOPS 2025
Sybil Attack Strikes Again: Denying Content Access in IPFS with a Single Computer — ARES 2024
Discreet: Distributed Delivery Service with Context-Aware Cooperation — Annals of Telecommunications, 2024
Access Control Based on CRDTs for Collaborative Distributed Applications — TrustCom 2023
Cupseli (2025-ongoing)
Frugal and secure distributed AI. Launched at the World AI Cannes Forum, February 2025. 9 PhD researchers recruited.
How the distributed architecture works.
When you store a file on Hivenet, it is split into encrypted fragments. Those fragments are distributed across multiple independent nodes in European infrastructure. No single node holds a complete copy of your file.
Sharded, not stored whole. Each file is broken into pieces, encrypted, and spread across the network. A breach of one node exposes nothing usable.
No single point of failure. Fragments are replicated across nodes. If any node goes offline, your data remains accessible.
Data residency enforced by architecture. Your data physically cannot be routed outside your designated region. Not a policy. A system constraint.
No dependency on AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure. Hivenet operates its own infrastructure. Your data does not pass through a hyperscaler at any point.
Sovereignty is structural. No US parent company. No CLOUD Act exposure. The corporate structure and the technical architecture are aligned.

A regulated French fintech: AI inference for financial data on sovereign infrastructure.
Jupyter notebooks, fast GPU access, green enzymes research.
Hivenet makes our work much easier. With Jupyter notebooks, fast access to GPUs, and reliable infrastructure across regions, we’ve been able to speed up our research on green enzymes for industrial use. It feels like a real step forward in compute platforms.
Sustainable, European, sovereignty, fair pricing.
What we like about Hivenet is that it matches how we think about AI: sustainable, efficient, and grounded in Europe. The distributed model gives us security, the option to choose European models strengthens our sovereignty message, and small details like pausing instances or fair pricing just make it practical for us to use day to day.
GPU reliability for scaling AI work with students.
Hivenet’s GPUs have been key to scaling our AI work. They let us run advanced models smoothly, so our interactions with students stay fast and responsive. That reliability has made a real difference for us.
