Hey everyone,
Happy #HPUD!
As you can see from the screenshot, my contribution this month is a tiny one... only 7.005 HIVE. But if you look closely at the output, you'll notice it looks much, much different than normal.
You can see it grabbing the nodelist from the PeakD beacon. You can see the raw HTTP responses (that’s temporary debug output while I verify everything is working). And most importantly, you can see that the transaction went through successfully.
Why This Matters
This transaction was built using a branch of hive-nectar that has been 100% refactored.
I don't mean a quick cleanup. I mean every file, every method, every class, every variable, and every line in the codebase has been rewritten, audited, type checked and optimized where I could find it possible. 90+ commits ahead of main at the time of writing...
Here is a taste of what has changed in v0.2.0:
- Total Refactor: The entire structure has been audited.
- No more legacy api: Using the openapi specifications, every rpc call goes where it's supposed to go, no more
is_appbaseoruse_condensertype checking / switching. - Async Support: I completely removed the
requestslibrary in favor ofhttpxto support asynchronous operations. (mostly still in progress) - No More Hivesigner: The functionality of Hivesigner has been removed entirely.
- Modern Standards: The entire codebase is now type-hinted and checked with
rufffor linting and formatting andtyfor type checking (and let me tell you that thing is PICKY). - Better Reliability: Added a
NodePoolfor smarter node management and custom exceptions for better error handling.
I Need Testers!
I’ve put this code through the wringer as much as I can, but I can't test every edge case alone. Everything in this update is a breaking change.
If you use hive-nectar for anything mission-critical, I need you to break it for me now, before I merge it into the main branch. Special shout out to 
hive-nectar.
You can install and play with the refactored version directly from the v0.2.0 branch on GitHub:
pip install -U git+https://github.com/thecrazygm/hive-nectar.git@v0.2.0
# or
uv add "hive-nectar @ git+https://github.com/thecrazygm/hive-nectar.git@v0.2.0"
I'll continue tweaking it in this branch, but eventually, it will be merged. I’d much rather fix the issues now than have them surprise you later.
EDIT: https://github.com/TheCrazyGM/hive-nectar/tree/v0.2.0 if you want to poke at it and see what changed.
As always,
