Open Knowledge Infrastructure
Maintain Knolo and related open-source tools for reproducible, local-first, privacy-conscious AI retrieval across public-interest fields.
● A public-benefit cybercrime research program
Open knowledge infrastructure for a safer digital future.
CCRNet is a research and public-safety program of HIVE Technology Foundation. We study how fraud and cybercrime information can be structured, searched, evaluated, and used responsibly—then publish open tools, research, and practical safety resources for the public good.
A free, accessible community space for people affected by fraud to share experiences, find peer support, and learn safer next steps.
Public-benefit research comes first. Any future paid institutional access will support—not define—the foundation’s charitable programs.
CCRNet is in active research and development
The architecture, models, and interfaces described here are being researched and prototyped. We do not currently have an expected launch date.
FOUR PUBLIC-BENEFIT PROGRAMS
Work the public can see, use, and evaluate.
HIVE Technology Foundation organizes its work around durable public outputs—not around a commercial product. CCRNet is the foundation’s specialized cybercrime research and public-safety program; Knolo remains broad open-source infrastructure.
Cybercrime Research
Study how fraud and cybercrime reports can be structured, searched, connected, evaluated, and safely used in model development.
Public Education
Publish fraud typologies, research findings, safety guidance, anonymized trend reports, technical papers, and educational datasets.
Investigator & Researcher Support
Work toward free or subsidized tools, datasets, and technical assistance for qualified public-interest organizations and researchers.
RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT
Research is the work—not a footnote.
CCRNet began as a research platform for studying how cybercrime reports can be structured, categorized, and analyzed, and how carefully prepared report data can support artificial-intelligence and blockchain-based systems.
Our current R&D examines isolated knowledge architecture, deterministic retrieval, cross-report pattern analysis, human-reviewed connection suggestions, cybercrime model training and evaluation, and responsible approaches to prediction.

CCRNET INTELLIGENCE EXCHANGE
Private first. More powerful together.
A future participating institution may begin with its own authorized case data. Qualified participants could later opt in to a carefully governed exchange; public-interest and research access will be part of the access model, not an afterthought.
“Contribute selected, sanitized indicators to the CCRNet Intelligence Exchange and receive matches against intelligence shared by other members.”
Participation will be selective, transparent, and reversible. Raw reports and evidence stay outside the exchange; contributors choose which eligible indicators to share.
Designed for responsible intelligence
- ✓Private by defaultYour organization’s workspace and source material remain isolated.
- ✓Explicitly opt inNothing enters the exchange simply because it is in CCRNet.
- ✓Sanitized indicatorsShare selected signals, not complete reports or case files.
- ✓Human verificationMatches are investigative leads, never findings of wrongdoing.
CYBERCRIME AI, RESPONSIBLY
Intelligence for research, training, and prediction.
Purpose-built data
Develop cybercrime-specific datasets and models around reports, tactics, infrastructure, indicators, and outcomes.
Evidence-backed development
Evaluate training and prediction work against traceable source material and deterministic retrieval results.
Controlled access
Organization and case isolation, permissions, retention controls, and auditable activity are foundational requirements.
Human-reviewed outputs
AI predictions and connection suggestions are leads—not verdicts—and must receive qualified human review.
ONE NETWORK · FOUR CONNECTED LAYERS
A public-interest program with multiple paths to access.
Community education, independent research, subsidized public-interest access, and paid institutional deployments can share one governed technical foundation. Earned revenue, if introduced, will support the foundation’s mission and public-benefit programs.

The foundation is more than a legal wrapper.
HIVE TECHNOLOGY FOUNDATION INC. is a Florida not-for-profit corporation advancing open and responsible AI technology, research, and education for public safety, fraud prevention, cybercrime analysis, and trustworthy access to knowledge.
CCRNet is one specialized program. Knolo is a broader open-source infrastructure project for investigations, education, archives, nonprofit knowledge systems, local government, and sensitive or offline environments.
