The @themarkymark proposal for Hive Analytics seeks 100 HBD/day for 60 days (with intent to renew annually) to fund the maintenance, hosting, and development of a powerful, user-friendly data platform designed to enhance transparency, research, and abuse detection across the Hive ecosystem.

🔍 Proposal Recap:

• Project: Hive Analytics Beta — a comprehensive data reporting and analytics platform.
• Current Status: 24 live reports, with 100+ planned, covering curation, content, finance, and anti-abuse.
• Technology: Uses Valkey (Redis-compatible) for smart caching, reducing node load and boosting performance.
• Data Scope: Spans Hive (L1), Hive Engine, Splinterlands, VSC, and more — no technical skill required to access.
• Export Features: CSV and Markdown exports planned for all reports.
• Future Goals: Integrate Personal Dashboards, expand coverage, improve backend scalability.

🌟 Key Benefits for the Hive Ecosystem:

1. Democratized Data Access
   Makes complex blockchain data easy to understand for non-developers — empowering creators, curators, and investors with insights.

2. Transparency & Accountability
   Reports like Value Plan spending and Hive Whales reveal fund flows and stake concentration, helping the community track where resources go.

3. Anti-Abuse Powerhouse
   Specialized tools (whitelist-only) will help moderators and investigators detect sybil attacks, vote manipulation, and fraud faster and more effectively.

4. Performance at Scale
   Smart caching ensures fast load times even with heavy data processing — critical for long-term usability as Hive grows.

5. Support for Projects & DAOs
   Tracking accounts like leo.voter and ocd shows how HP is distributed by project sponsors — vital for evaluating community impact and funding efficiency.

6. Open & Usable Outputs
   Exportable reports (CSV/markdown) allow users to share findings in posts, analyses, or governance discussions, boosting community research.

7. Sustainable Development Path
   This 60-day proposal lays groundwork for an ongoing, funded effort to keep Hive’s analytics robust and evolving.

🚀 Why It Matters:
Hive Analytics isn’t just a dashboard — it’s becoming the central nervous system for data-driven decisions on Hive. From spotting trends to fighting abuse, it strengthens trust, participation, and long-term growth.

Your thoughts? Should this become a permanent pillar of Hive infrastructure?
