Moving Hive Toward a Modular Future

The shift to the HAF API stack is more than just a routine update. It is a complete rethink of how we handle data on the chain.

  • Streamlined Core Operations
    By removing legacy history plugins from the core software we make the network lighter and more resilient. The core node validates while the framework remembers.

  • Standard SQL Integration
    Moving data into PostgreSQL removes the technical barriers for new developers. If you know SQL you can now build a high performance app on Hive.

  • Native Fork Management
    The system now handles data rollbacks automatically. This ensures that app databases always stay perfectly in sync with the blockchain state.

  • Unified Balance Tracking
    New indexing tools allow for instant access to account balances across all Hive assets without needing multiple complex API calls.

  • High Velocity Push Architecture
    By pushing data directly into the database layer we can support far more users and applications simultaneously than ever before.
