Lowering Our DHF Proposal
https://peakd.com/me/proposals/peakd
Over the last several years, the Hive ecosystem has helped us build and maintain Peak Open Projects. We are grateful for that support and for the community that makes this all possible.
Yesterday afternoon we lowered voluntarily our DHF proposal to 490 HBD/day from 630 (almost 25% slash)
This decision was not made lightly. The proposal will now not cover the entirety of our team expenses for the Peak Open Projects team, and we are letting go of someone we care about. We will absorb the gap and move forward.
We believe this is healthy for Hive long-term because the whole ecosystem is being forced to make hard choices in the current economic climate. We want Hive to exist for decades, and for all of us to build amazing tools that could one day bring millions of people. That future doesn’t happen by accident, it comes from discipline, focus, and building in a way that can sustain itself.
Not Slowing Down
We’re also planning to release more than we ever have—updates to older projects, new open-source releases, and faster iteration overall. There are now many tools and workflows available to developers that make this possible, and we intend to prove it with results.
As a reader, you should also understand that major shifts are happening in how software gets built. You should demand more than ever from development teams. The expectation now should be clear: we can do much more with even less.
We would like to hear what other projects are doing as well. What tools and practices are you using to become leaner and more fiscally responsible? Our reduction, and even our proposal at large, is a drop in the bucket if the rest of the ecosystem does not also make changes. This only has real impact if it becomes a broader shift.
But we’re optimistic. We believe Hive can absolutely rise to this moment. We believe we can do more with less. We believe we can build faster, ship better, and keep pushing this ecosystem forward. We’re in.
