We want to kick off our upcoming proposal by thanking everyone who supported us last year. We couldn't have accomplished our major goals without your support. So thank you!
Review & Plans
Throughout the years, Actifit has grown into a full-fledged service provider to our Hive ecosystem, offering complete front-end services, which not only cater to Actifit needs but provide an open door to our fitness community or anyone new to Hive to use our front ends and apps for blogging and vlogging with bridges to many other Hive initiatives.
Actifit's last year has been nothing short of growth, development, and collaborations. Let us share some of the accomplishments of last year as well as some of the plans underway for 2025 and beyond:
- Integrations & Collabs:
- Spk network: We have built tight integrations with spk network including 3speak video integrations across our web and app platforms. We are looking at further collab including utilizing the image hosting capacity once the network officially launches. Additionally, we love the work so far done on distriator, and are looking to collaborate on that end as well.
- Splinterlands: Last year saw the launch of our splinterlands integration enabling card owners to earn with additional rewards on Actifit based on their cards category & strategy. We are looking at a larger collab this year, which could include special gadgets, SPS added value or more.
- Ecency waves & Peakd Snaps: As both teams have launched great short content entry points to hive, we integrated both into our Actifit platforms to enable a seamless experience across hive and more options to our users.
- VSC: The long anticipated smart contracts layer for hive. We are awaiting the official launch so that we can look into integrating it into our Actifit experience, our wallet, but also to start utilizing smart contracts on Hive.
- Inleo: Inleo team has been pushing the limits and expanding beyond hive to bring additional value to our chain. We value how far they've gone, and we are looking to have collaborations together, which could include threads, shorts and others.
- Actifit Vision Expansion:
- AI Integration: Last year we integrated our first AI-focused functionality relating to the dynamic translation of user content. This year we have many plans for further AI expansion as we will detail below. This came bundled up with a full-fledged translation of our app experience and introducing new language support.
- Workout planner: We started the work on a new core module in Actifit, which includes a complete workout planner backed by AI, enabling a wizard-like process to customize your own workout plan. This will tackle a larger audience for Actifit, and expand our vision of fitness and well-being.
- Workout tracker: A planner is great, a tracker is better! As part of your current experience in tracking your activity count throughout the day, and based on the planning module, you will be able to register your specific workout details according to your plan and available exercises whenever you perform your routine. This will be registered onchain.
- Workout Database: Actifit will feature a database of workouts, position visualizations, descriptions, and target muscles,... to provide useful details for our users to properly visualize, track, and perform workouts.
- Increased Gamification: As Actifit already features a gamified experience, whether through user ranks, friendships, market and virtual gadgets, we plan to grow and increase this throughout the year, which could include new gadgets, new gamification, and a few other ideas we are working on to announce in time :)
- New Wearable Integrations: this is another key area of focus, where we plan to expand our existing integrations with wearables and tap into communities with pre-existing wearables. As mentioned in the gamification section, the new ideas we are working on would influence our wearable integrations.
- Better UI/UX: You can never say enough in UI/UX, which is why we are continuously reimagining our visuals under Actifit. Last year noted a major shift in our Actifit iOS app, introducing tons of new functionality and better aligning it with its Android counterpart, including the introduction of socials, videos, and wallets, and many others planned for this year.
Code (Always Open Source)
We have also been quite active in pushing our code changes to our
github, as our work is open source across our repos.
Below are graphs showing github activity of commit history/contributions per our Actifit team members, with a total of 453 contributions (avg of 8.71/week)
By Project: (Actifit web, android, and ios)
Infrastructure
Our large infrastructure continues to run smoothly in support of Hive and different initiatives on top of hive that we support, with 20+ active servers including large-scale public Hive/HAF API node, Hive engine API nodes, image server, 3speak, vsc nodes and others.
Requested Funding
In alignment with last year's expenditures, the bulk of funding went into development resources (around 74%), and the rest into infrastructure, devops and graphics/socials costs.
For this year, we project similar cost plans and breakdown. We did not increase our requested funding, as we do not wish to put more pressure on the DHF and prefer to maintain a conservative figure for our funding while covering some of the needed costs. The cost estimate breakdown is as follows:
- Infrastructure cost (500$ monthly)
- Devops cost (600$ monthly)
- Developers cost (web + android + ios: 3 x 1,700$ monthly=5,400$ monthly)
- Graphics/Socials cost (700$ monthly)
We are, therefore, looking at a monthly asking of 6,900 HBD, which equates to 230 HBD per day.
We will continue to provide continuous updates on our progress and growth, as always.
If you have any comments/suggestions/ideas, we are more than happy to discuss them. Actifit has continuously grown based on community feedback.
