Community Notifications overhaul

• Identified lots of issues with the way community notifications were handled, planning a big update to fix all of that and improve UX for users
• Overhaul should also result in a database size reduction for hivemind
• Long term-ish goal is to convert the community implementation from python to SQL to improve performance

Memory & Performance Optimizations

• HiveD Memory Reduction: Dropped shared memory file from 24GB to 6GB through custom block-based allocators and moving data to RocksDB
• Replay Performance: Eliminated need for RAM disk during replays - now faster on regular disk storage
• Further Optimization Planned: Removing market history data could reduce memory by another 0.5GB
• Goal is making HiveD run on smaller systems, potentially even phones

Search & Discovery Features

• Three Search Systems Being Developed:

  1. Existing: Elastic search (HiveSearcher by external developer)
  2. New Full-Text Search: Built into HiveMind using PostgreSQL capabilities (~100GB database addition)
  3. HiveSense (AI Search): Vector embeddings for semantic search (~110GB database addition)

• HiveSense Details:

  • HAF application providing AI-based semantic search
  • Posts chunked and vectorized for better matching
  • Two API calls: find_post (query-based) and find_similar_posts (post-based)
  • Could potentially replace existing search solutions

API & Development Improvements

• Error Handling: Added error codes to HiveD instead of just error strings, exposed through protocol layer
• Swagger Documentation: Adding swagger definitions for all HiveD APIs to enable auto-generated bindings
• Python Wax: Now supports HiveD API calls through auto-generated bindings
• WorkerB Optimization: Bot processing time reduced from 13 hours to 15 minutes for a week's worth of posts

Block Explorer Enhancements

• New Features:

  • All blocks page with live streaming mode
  • Transaction statistics with daily/weekly/monthly views
  • Savings balances in balance charts
  • Unified table display across the application
  • Block segmented pagination for search results

• Planned Features:

  • Account proxy listings
  • Total value locked on chain
  • Transfer volume history
  • Top holders lists (by Hive, Vests, HBD)
  • User count and activity metrics

Infrastructure & Tools

• Metamask Plugin: Passed audit process, waiting for official publication
• Beekeeper Improvements: Enhanced communication between Clive wallet and key storage
• Clive Wallet: New version with simplified key bindings and authorities page for multi-sig accounts
• Denser Progress: Replacement for Condenser with improved performance and SEO optimization

User Retention Analysis

• Comprehensive Study: Analyzed 63,000 users from 2024 and 25,000 from 2025
• Retention Metrics: Based on HP balance and activity (37 different operations)
• Abuse Detection: Identified account "mighty-possible" creating spam through AI summaries across multiple accounts
• Next Steps: Integrating Spamminator and other blacklists to identify serial offenders and measure onboarder quality

Mesh/Exchange Status

• Currently waiting for Coinbase review and response on implementation
• Development focus shifted to Crimson and exchange team

Technical Architecture Notes

• All new applications built as HAF apps rather than HiveD applications
• HiveD maintained as minimal core system (like OS kernel)
• HAF serves as outer service layer for all applications
• API servers can redirect specific calls to specialized servers when needed
