This proposal (#359) seeks $36 per day for 365 days to support the maintenance and development of the public HAF (Hive Application Framework) database and HafSQL, a powerful SQL interface built on top of it.
🔧 What’s Being Funded?
- Public HAF Database Access: A live PostgreSQL database containing the entire Hive blockchain data, updated in real time.
- HafSQL Tooling: An open-source layer that simplifies querying Hive data using standard SQL and exposes REST/gRPC APIs for developers.
- Infrastructure: Two dedicated servers (primary + backup) ensuring reliability, uptime, and seamless updates.
🌐 Current Services Hosted
The public HAF instance powers:
- HAF & HafSQL
- hivemind (backend for apps like PeakD)
- HAF Block Explorer
- Reputation tracker
- Balance tracker
📡 Access Details (Public & Free)
Anyone can connect directly:
host: hafsql-sql.mahdiyari.info
port: 5432
database: haf_block_log
user: hafsql_public
password: hafsql_public
APIs are also publicly available at:
🚀 Benefits to the Hive Ecosystem
- Lower Barrier to Entry: Developers can query blockchain data using simple SQL—no need to parse raw block logs or run full nodes.
- Faster App Development: Enables rapid prototyping and deployment of dApps, analytics tools, and front-ends.
- Reliable Infrastructure: Public access reduces duplication of effort; teams can build on a shared, well-maintained data layer.
- Innovation Catalyst: Opens doors for advanced analytics, dashboards, bot systems, and research on Hive activity, reputation, and token flows.
- Decentralized Tooling: Complements Hive’s decentralization by providing an open, transparent data access point.
In short: this proposal sustains a critical piece of Hive’s developer infrastructure—keeping data open, accessible, and usable for everyone.
