Thank you 
Yes we currently have a team of six developers, several of whom have been working for years on HAF-based development, so they bring strong experience and efficiency to the table.
Regarding the proposed features, while we shared a short-term roadmap, some of the items you mentioned are indeed among the directions we plan to prioritize. In particular, integrating VSC data and smart contract interaction is something we’ve already been exploring. As the smart contract layer on Hive matures, we envision the Block Explorer evolving similarly to how Etherscan or BscScan allow users to view and interact with contracts directly on-chain.
On the L2 side, we've also been discussing new reports and endpoints to surface L2-related data and activity, which ties nicely into your suggestion for supporting L2 protocols / VSC.
As for analytics, we absolutely value the great work Marky has done — and our goal isn't to duplicate but to complement. Our focus has been on:
Providing open-source, decentralized APIs as part of HAF nodes, enabling anyone to access, host, or extend the same data.
Building analytics that can drive real economic visibility on Hive — things like DeFi metrics (Total Transfer Volume, TVL, Trading Volume, Per-Account Financial Summaries), as well as user-centric insights (Daily Active Users, Inactive/Returning Accounts, etc.).
Your idea around onboarding and retention tracking is excellent — measuring 30-day retention, new account quality, and engagement flow would be highly valuable. These could indeed be new API endpoints and visual cards on the explorer’s dashboard, helping quantify user growth and Hive’s funnel performance.
Again, really appreciate your input — much of our current work has evolved directly from community suggestions, and we’re always open to aligning new features with what Hive needs most.
