With a combined 15 years of experience working and building on HIVE, and over 35 years experience using Free and Open Source principles, including developing tools and software; and
are a dream team of skill sets for developing on HIVE.
@Open.Mithril development team will integrate three strategic initiatives to strengthen the HIVE blockchain ecosystem: a modular open-source development framework, critical library maintenance, and targeted community engagement. Our "HIVE as a Service" approach delivers component-based microservices following successful business models like RedHat, with an innovative feedback system ensuring development directly addresses user needs.
To establish a reliable foundation, we will fork, rebrand, and actively maintain the essential beem library —critical infrastructure whose original maintenance has declined. These stabilized libraries will serve as dependable building blocks for the entire HIVE development ecosystem, seamlessly integrating with our broader framework initiatives.
Our Deep Web3 Secrets podcast will drive community engagement and marketing by conducting candid interviews with project leaders and prominent Web3 ecosystem users. This outreach bridges previously disconnected builders, fostering collaboration while increasing awareness of our, and all, development tools and services on HIVE. Together, these initiatives create a comprehensive approach to nurturing HIVE's growth through robust infrastructure, developer empowerment, and community building.

Project management is the backbone of successful software development, connecting vision to execution. Skilled project managers create clarity amid complexity, ensuring contributors align toward common goals. They facilitate critical communication across teams and stakeholders, establish clear priorities that focus efforts on high-impact work, and enable integration of disparate components into cohesive systems. Without this orchestration, even talented developers struggle with fragmentation and solutions that fail to meet user needs—project management is essential to transforming technical potential into real-world impact.
@Open.Mithril will keep budget in savings account, use verbose memos for every transaction. Both and
have keys, and live on separate continents to mitigate risk.
While our budget request represents the equivalent of (less than) one traditional developer salary, our modular development model, our deep bench of support network allies, and established workflow will deliver exponentially greater value to the HIVE ecosystem. Our previous self-funded work demonstrates our ability to efficiently create and deploy multiple tools simultaneously, while efficiently making use of multiple skill sets.
Total Request: $99,000 HBD : kept in savings account for easy accounting.
Partially these salaries may be reinvested into our company for present and future capacity.
Current Tools we are paying for:
GM: Exafunction / Codeium pro, OpenAI, Anthropic
Additional pay for use apis as needed.
Eco: Claude, github pro, Canva
We run 5 servers currently of varying sizes through Digital Ocean currently, spread out across the world.
Our budget allocation ensures dedication, operational sustainability as well as increased assistance with several tools, increases our ability to recognize the hard work of several skilled members of our support network - all while maintaining our commitment to the HIVE ecosystem! The marketing component will help drive awareness and adoption of our tools and expand the types of users able to quickly try and test with “HIVE as a Service” modules.

I was looking for an easy way for Hivers to make a delegation of their choice to my project on Hive. Delegating stake within the Hive interfaces is not very intuitive. You need a couple of clicks.
There is an alternative; hivesigner, but the downside of that is that you have to configure the amount in the link you’re sharing. People don’t have the ability to adjust the amount.
When I was in the PeakD Support channel to ask if they could simplify the delegation process Eco reacted. We had a discussion about the specifications and he was going to discuss it with his developer.
Within 5 hours there was a reaction from him in the chat with a link to a fully working tool.
I was really baffled that he managed to create this in such a short amount of time.
The tool works as a charm and safely too with the Keychain integration. They even made an adjustment on my request so I could create a link to a pre-filled delegation page.
I’m using the link in my blogpost to get delegations for my project
Eco and his team are very easy to work with and are very reasonably priced. What he helped me with was done on time and completed as requested. I was very happy that my project was done on time and there was no scope creep.
Risk: Declining maintenance of dependencies outside our control
Mitigation: Our plan to fork and maintain critical libraries like beem addresses this directly. We'll implement a comprehensive testing framework to quickly identify and resolve integration issues with upstream dependencies.
Risk: Scope creep leading to delayed deliverables
Mitigation: We'll implement a strict modular approach with clearly defined boundaries for each component. Our established bi-monthly feedback cycle creates natural checkpoints to reassess priorities and maintain focus.
Risk: Uncertainty regarding funding
Mitigation: Our Flash-grant proposal model let's us know exactly how much money HIVE is willing to entrust to us. Whatever the amount, we'll establish public quarterly budget reviews to adjust spending patterns if necessary without compromising core deliverables.
Risk: Unexpected development costs
Mitigation: Our "miscellaneous" budget component provides a buffer. Additionally, our modular approach allows us to pause or scale back specific components if necessary while still delivering core functionality.
Risk: Team bandwidth limitations
Mitigation: Our support network creates redundancy in key skill areas. We'll implement a prioritization framework that ensures critical path items receive appropriate resources, with clear documentation enabling seamless handoffs between team members.
Risk: Community adoption barriers
Mitigation: The podcast and community engagement components specifically address this by creating direct feedback channels. Additionally, our B2B services create real-world validation of concepts before wider rollout.
Risk: Misalignment with broader HIVE ecosystem direction
Mitigation: Regular engagement with governance discussions and key stakeholders through our podcast and community outreach. We'll maintain flexibility in our modular roadmap in order to pivot based on ecosystem shifts.
Risk: Competitive overlap with other funded projects
Mitigation: Focus on collaboration rather than competition through our open-source approach. We'll actively seek integration opportunities with complementary projects to maximize ecosystem value.
Should any significant risks materialize, our modular approach ensures that individual components remain valuable to the community even if the broader framework faces challenges. All code will be publicly maintained with comprehensive documentation to enable community continuation regardless of funding status.
Open Mithril's modular development framework will work to develop a new model of how new development teams and projects build on HIVE, reducing redundant work and accelerating innovation. By embracing open-source principles and continuous client feedback, we'll ensure the framework addresses real needs while fostering a more collaborative development ecosystem. We use the same values in our communication, using the podcast principle. We request your support to bring this efficiency-enhancing framework to the HIVE community.
We did our first AMA - Its Amazing, I think, so give it a listen. If you are an audio learner, and don't connect here, you won't like the proposal, its okay.
