We're Reducing Our Proposal Funding Request - Here's Why

The Hive ecosystem thrives on responsibility, transparency, and long-term thinking. Today, we want to share an important update with the community.

Adjusting to Market Conditions

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 Budget Was Already Tight

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.

Commitment to Hive's Long-Term Growth

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.

What Stays the Same

• Continued feature development

• Infrastructure improvements

• Ecosystem contributions

• Long-term commitment

Our mission hasn't changed.

If anything, it's stronger.

Thank You ❤️

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.
