Approved. 120k a year for a team of developers, support, infrastructure, onboarding and ongoing proven track record of delivery and development? count me in, voted!

Fair and reasonable ask and tangible return for the community, I love Ecency.

The only point of improvement for the future, and it is passable for this low ask and proven track record of delivery, is I would like to have proposals proposing how to outgrow the Hive Fund.

I hope that in the future Ecency, and every project, has a monetization plan to be more independent from the DHF for funding. If possible please consider and brainstorm ideas, that would be huge for the future of Hive. Hive needs income beyond people buying HIVE for investment.

    Thanks Igor, this means a lot - and your point on outgrowing the DHF is one we think about constantly.

    A few things already in motion in exactly that direction: we're building hive-x402 (an x402 payment facilitator on Hive) which positions HBD as a settlement layer for AI agent micropayments - zero fees, 3-second finality, and an active revenue surface that doesn't depend on DHF. We're also developing Ecency AI Credits where users earn credits through platform engagement and spend them on AI tools (grammar, translation, image generation), and exploring Vision-Next as a B2B/SaaS offering so communities and projects can run their own Hive-powered frontends on custom domains. The principle we hold firm on: no ads, ever. So the monetization has to come from infrastructure, premium tooling, and AI services that genuinely add value. Fully agree this is the path forward for Hive as a whole, not just Ecency.
