Much appreciated!
Self-sustainability is indeed the goal, but it's really hard as things stand. We barely make 1k HBD on a good month with our swap services, due to how small the volumes are. That's why we've decided to try and connect Hive to the broader ecosystem by becoming multichain. These things take time but if we continue operating in isolation it's going to be hard to survive.

I didn’t know you were working on cross chain. That sounds like a good plan. I feel better about hives future knowing you are moving in that direction, we need some more role model projects that achieve self sustainability!
I can see how it might scare some DHF voters because it looks like a project could get a big boost from the DHF and then quickly abandon hive when they achieve success that isn’t tied to hive (dtube comes to mind though I don’t know the full story) , but this kind of fear has also held us back. I hope projects find ways to build and keep that trust and make moves towards more cross chain and cross community development.
Perhaps there were reasons people didn’t trust Leo to do this, but their overall plans and ideas during the early iteration of their most recent DHF push were the most innovative and potentially sustainable at Hive so far. I wish their critics would recognize that at least, whatever other criticisms they may have. Good ideas are good ideas.
I really hope ecency and peakd can find some method of self sustainability that works. Great work and Hive needs them but I don’t think it should be expected to support them forever.
Hive keychain may be my favorite project at hive though even if it’s not one I think about often, it’s like well functioning connective tissue that we were missing before. I’m not sure I’d still be here without it! Thank you!
