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:

• https://hafsql-api.mahdiyari.info/
• https://rpc.mahdiyari.info/hafsql
• https://api.syncad.com/hafsql

🚀 Benefits to the Hive Ecosystem

1. Lower Barrier to Entry: Developers can query blockchain data using simple SQL—no need to parse raw block logs or run full nodes.
2. Faster App Development: Enables rapid prototyping and deployment of dApps, analytics tools, and front-ends.
3. Reliable Infrastructure: Public access reduces duplication of effort; teams can build on a shared, well-maintained data layer.
4. Innovation Catalyst: Opens doors for advanced analytics, dashboards, bot systems, and research on Hive activity, reputation, and token flows.
5. 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.
