Concerns Over the Battle Between HIVE and Splinterlands Communities and Its Unintended Consequences
For those unfamiliar, the “Return Proposal” acts as a marker — essentially a line in the sand. Proposals that fall below it don’t receive funding, while those that rise above it get their share of the DHF to further their projects. The problem we’re seeing now is that the Splinterlands proposal, which once had strong support, is finding it harder to maintain its position above that line. This isn’t just a Splinterlands issue — other great projects are also being pushed below the threshold. These are projects with potential to enhance the utility of the HIVE blockchain and expand its ecosystem, and losing funding for them could have ripple effects that are difficult to reverse.
What worries me most is that this battle between the two communities may unintentionally hinder the very growth and adoption the HIVE blockchain needs. Splinterlands is a powerhouse in terms of driving user engagement and bringing new participants into the blockchain. However, the pushback against its funding proposal may signal deeper frustrations within the HIVE community, with some perhaps feeling that Splinterlands is monopolizing resources. But at what cost? If this internal tug-of-war continues, other innovative projects may also find themselves starved for resources — and that could stagnate the evolution of the broader HIVE ecosystem.
The unintended consequences of this struggle are concerning. As HIVE power required to fund the Splinterlands proposal grows, we’re seeing an increasing number of promising projects fall by the wayside. These projects might not have the scale or visibility of Splinterlands, but they are just as crucial to expanding the blockchain’s use cases and ensuring its long-term success.
I can’t help but wonder if those opposing Splinterlands’ proposal funding have fully considered the ramifications of their actions. Defunding one of the blockchain’s largest user bases and most visible applications, along with other important projects, could hurt the entire ecosystem in ways we don’t yet fully understand. We all want HIVE to thrive, but division within the community could create an atmosphere that limits innovation and collaboration — two things critical to blockchain success.
In the end, I hope both communities find a way to work together and ensure that the DHF remains a balanced resource that supports all projects equally. Only through collaboration can we ensure the continued growth and widespread adoption of the HIVE blockchain.
