Agree. Open source does not mean "never make revenue" and depending only on DAO funding forever is not healthy.

We already have some revenue from paid onboarding and Points sales, but it is still small, roughly 100-150 EUR/month, which is only a fraction of infrastructure and development cost.

The goal is to grow that with more creative revenue paths: paid services, AI Credits, Points, hive-x402, self-hosted/community instances, and other useful tools. But we want to do it without selling user data, invasive tracking, or compromising user privacy.

So the direction is: reduce the DHF ask now, scale commitments accordingly, and keep moving more cost toward revenue where it makes sense.
