The Hive ecosystem thrives on responsibility, transparency, and long-term thinking. Today, we want to share an important update with the community.
As everyone knows, market conditions change. The price of HIVE fluctuates - and with that, the real value of proposal funding changes too.
Rather than ignore this reality, we are choosing to adapt.
We have decided to reduce our daily proposal request from 396 HBD to 300 HBD.
This is a voluntary reduction.
Not because we're scaling down. Not because we're slowing development. But because we believe responsible stewardship matters.
Our operational budget has always been:
Carefully planned
Lean and efficient
Focused on delivery
Optimized for long-term sustainability
Even with a reduced request, we will continue:
Shipping features the community loves
Maintaining and improving the platform
Supporting creators and users
Growing the Hive ecosystem
This adjustment reflects discipline - not compromise.
We believe Hive is more than a blockchain.
It’s:
A social ecosystem
A decentralized innovation layer
A creator economy built on ownership
By lowering our funding request during challenging market conditions, we aim to:
Reduce pressure on the DHF
Show alignment with community interests
Lead by example in sustainability
When Hive grows, we grow together.
Continued feature development
Infrastructure improvements
Ecosystem contributions
Long-term commitment
Our mission hasn't changed.
If anything, it's stronger.
We are deeply grateful for the community's continued support. The trust placed in us through proposal funding is something we take seriously. We thank all teams and developers taking similar steps and initiative. To improve our transparency further, we are working on spreadsheet that will include all our expenses and will be shared with community once ready.
We remain committed to delivering value - efficiently, responsibly, and transparently.
Let's keep building.
Together.
