Sure, you've contributed a lot, but this opens a can of worms. It's also horrible timing and has a horrible look: you're asking for $90K for past work so you can double down and do more, but it seems like you don't have faith and are trying to cash in for all that hard work while you still can.

I do not think retroactive salary (or whatever this is) is reasonable. That blood, sweat, and tears was an investment you chose to put into the chain. Should you have gotten paid for all you've done? Sure, but that needed to be established in the moment you essentially chose to volunteer.

What I would support (and want to see) is you bring up all your contributions, mention you didn't get paid for any of it, and say you can't keep it going. Then give us SMART goals: small time frames, concrete measurables. You continue to deliver on those, and you set up a next proposal so you can cover the next little sprint. That is more than fair and can keep you in the game. Sure, in the long run it's going to cost Hive more, but now you don't get stuck working for free, and there's also an incentive for you to deliver on what you set out in your proposal.
