Isn't that you are getting fees from transactions? Then why DHF? "We" will end up paying you anyway.
In a really awesome and fair world that's exactly how it should work right? That projects and companies will flock to Hive with a business model that would profit from interacting with Hive users. This is not our reality... YET! I think we all know that the present state of Hive users fees generated would never cover the cost of more complex development projects.
So the question then is are we willing to kickstart a few unique tools that the community may want at reasonable costs? If so then is this one of those tools we think will benefit the community? Will it be good for our hopes in expanding this community and hopefully new people coming in today or years into the future, is it a good long term investment. This is what i want to hear discussion on. To me it seems we aren't in a position where we can lure a lot of cool financial products for our community that are self sustaining and that maybe is a gut punch to the reality of our community... but we still want them right? So maybe we need to pay for them to come here. BUT BUT... the question is ... is this one of those products.
I use simpleswap and stealthex.io and i'd like to understand better how this product is better than those.
Hi @gtg,
Thanks for your vote and question.
It's important to clarify the distinction between the fees generated from transactions and the purpose of the DHF grant.
The fees we collect from transactions are primarily used for the ongoing improvement and maintenance of the product. This includes launching new features, regular updates, and covering operational costs to ensure the platform remains efficient, secure, and user-friendly. These fees are crucial for the long-term sustainability of the project.
On the other hand, the DHF grant is specifically aimed at covering the initial development costs of the Hive CrossDEX. Building a robust DeFi infrastructure from scratch, especially one that doesn't currently exist on Hive, involves significant upfront investment in terms of resources and manpower. The grant allows us to undertake this extensive development work without compromising on quality or scope.
Moreover, our vision extends beyond the initial 6 milestones outlined in our proposal. The grant helps us lay a strong foundation, but the journey of enhancing and expanding the DeFi infrastructure on Hive is an ongoing process. The fees generated will support this continuous evolution, ensuring that we can keep adding value to the Hive ecosystem over the years.
We believe this approach balances the need for initial support with the long-term viability and growth of the platform, ultimately benefiting the Hive community.
Thank you for your engagement and for allowing us the opportunity to explain our funding structure.
Isn't that the whole point of owing a business/launching a product that's for profit? Take a risk in the hopes that the product succeeds and the revenue from that exceeds the cost to develop and maintain the product?
Hi @rishi556,
I appreciate your perspective, and you raise a valid point about business risks and rewards. Indeed, launching a for-profit product typically involves risk-taking with the hope of future success. However, for a project like Hive CrossDEX, the scenario is a bit different.
Developing a comprehensive DeFi infrastructure for Hive is a substantial undertaking, requiring significant investment in resources, time, and expertise. While transaction fees will eventually sustain the platform's ongoing maintenance and improvement, the initial development phase presents considerable financial challenges.
The DHF grant plays a crucial role in this early stage. It enables us to cover the upfront costs and kickstart the project, which would be challenging without community support. This grant isn't just about funding. It's about community involvement and ensuring that Hive CrossDEX aligns with the needs and expectations of the Hive community.
Our goal is to build a platform that thrives commercially and significantly contributes to the Hive ecosystem. With the DHF's support, we can achieve this balance, creating a product that benefits the goals and objectives of both TeraBlock and the Hive community for the project's long-term success.
Thank you for engaging in this conversation and helping us clarify our approach.
They also have their own token. It is just a centralized exchange & business.
Hi @mahdiyari!
Thank you for your comment. I want to address your concerns about centralisation and clarify our approach with Hive CrossDEX.
Firstly, decentralisation is fundamental to our operations, and we're transitioning to a DAO structure. This move aligns with Hive's core principle of decentralisation, which is a key reason we're committed to the Hive CrossDEX project.
Regarding the centralisation aspect you mentioned, our current focus is on enhancing the security and efficiency of our bridge watchers. We're collaborating with ICP (Internet Computer Protocol) to shift our core bridge event watchers to ICP canisters. This transition is crucial for bolstering our decentralised security framework.
Additionally, we're working with Partisia Blockchain to integrate Multiparty Computation (MPC) into our infrastructure. This integration aims to enhance the Hive blockchain's privacy, scalability, and security, further aligning with our decentralisation goals.
Lastly, in response to community feedback, we plan to open-source the codebase upon completing all six project milestones. This decision underscores our commitment to transparency, community engagement, and long-term sustainability.
We understand the importance of maintaining a decentralized ethos, especially in a community-driven ecosystem like Hive. We aim to uphold these values while delivering a robust and efficient DeFi platform.
so many words...
What about competition?
How many projects like that are there, cause it's nothing special? 10-30?
Is it something you made in cooperation with splinterlands and generally made money and now ask for more money?
Thank you for your comment. Let's address each of your concerns individually.
Competition

We are unique in terms of our technology and DEX offerings. We have the required expertise and more than 2yrs of experience in the Hive ecosystem to make this happen.
Which other projects are offering to solve the DeFi infrastructure on Hive? Please list 10-30 projects so we can learn from their technology.
@gerber
Hive has a vibrant and active community, and decentralisation is at the heart of the blockchain. However, the irony is that to purchase Hive tokens, users have to rely on centralised exchanges. There is an urgent need for decentralised finance (DeFi) infrastructure.
If there is nothing special about our offering and the technology readily available, why is there no DeFi infrastructure on Hive? Please elaborate.
@gerber
You should try out a transaction, and then you will realise how seamless it is to bridge liquidity from EVM chains to Hive directly, without centralised exchanges.

@gerber
Let me clarify the differences between what we've already built and what we're proposing with the CrossDEX on HIVE:
Existing Bridges: Currently, we have six custom-built bridges for SPS & DEC tokens, including BSC <> HIVE, ETH <> HIVE, and BSC <> ETH. We also have the Swidge Protocol for SPS & DEC tokens.
CrossDEX on HIVE
• Expanded Blockchain Support: We plan to add over 10 blockchains, including both EVM and non-EVM chains.
• Fiat Gateway: This will include both on-ramp and off-ramp functionalities.
• Extended Liquidity Pools: Beyond HBD & HIVE, we aim to list various EVM & non-EVM tokens.
• One-Click Swidge: Seamless switching between all supported blockchains.
• Standalone Platform: CrossDEX will have its own dedicated domain, distinct from our current interface.
• Web2 User-Friendly: Account abstraction for easy onboarding, automating complex Web3 processes to present a simple Web2 frontend.
• Diverse Wallet Connectivity: Users will be able to connect various EVM and non-EVM wallets to the DEX.
• Liquidity Staking Provision: A key addition is enabling users to provide liquidity in these pools, which is a major draw for DeFi enthusiasts and can significantly boost user engagement.
Building on Existing Foundations: Our work with Splinterlands and the upcoming GLS lays the groundwork for creating a DEX on HIVE. This move is strategic for attracting liquidity from leading chains and simplifying Web3 onboarding.
In essence, while our existing products have laid a solid foundation, the CrossDEX on HIVE is a significant leap forward, offering broader blockchain integration, enhanced liquidity options, and a more user-friendly experience, especially for those new to Web3.

I tried entering my username in https://hive.terablock.com/ and when I click Continue I get the message "user not verified".
I am keen to test out your service. Is there KYC required? Can other people run their own instances of the Hive CrossDEX?
Hi @borislavzlatanov,
Thank you for your enthusiasm! 🙌
It worked for me, can you please try Hive Swidge now and please share your feedback.
Regarding KYC, it's only required if you plan to purchase Fiat currencies. For all other transactions, no KYC is needed. Hive CrossDEX is a completely decentralised and non-custodial platform.
And yes, being open-sourced, anyone will be able to replicate it. Stay tuned for more exciting updates!
#HiveCrossDEX #timefordefi
That is so great to hear.
Now I could get to the page for swapping. Maybe there is a need for some more instructions on how to use it. I probably first need to connect a wallet before making a swap but the Connect Wallet button isn't doing anything for me. Maybe a video explainer on how to use it will be very helpful.
Thanks for your feedback @borislavzlatanov, we have added step-by-step guide in the above blog, please check it out! 🙌
Thanks, that seems very clear and easy.
Thanks for adding the Github repository open source code. I have checked it out. As I can see, it acts as a frontend app that utilizes your backend system. So while a person may install and run the frontend independently, the whole system is still dependent on your backend.
Do you have plans to open source your backend so that people can do token transfers using your protocol completely independently of whether Terablock exists?
Thank you for your support and for taking the time to review our GitHub repository. You're correct that the current frontend app is designed to interact with our backend system.
We're committed to full decentralisation and are collaborating with Internet Computer Protocol (ICP) to decentralize the bridge watcher. Furthermore, we're integrating with Patrisia Blockchain's Multiparty Computation (MPC) technology. These initiatives will culminate in a fully decentralized Hive CrossDEX, enhancing both our security framework and transaction efficiency.
Post implementation, we plan to open source the backend, ensuring that our system can be used independently, securing the ethos of decentralisation that TeraBlock upholds.
We're looking forward to these developments and the positive impact they'll have on our platform and the Hive ecosystem.
Very good. Thank you. I'll personally be voting for your proposal when the full decentralization is in place, or at least large parts of it are in place. My understanding is that DHF funds are supposed to go to fully decentralized projects, and so you would qualify for that quite well when you're a good amount on your way to completely decentralizing your entire stack. Hope that makes sense.
!WOC
Impressive work on Woc, @terablock-hive! kairke(4/5) is in awe of the time and energy you've invested in this post. Your contributions to this community are invaluable.
This post is wonderful! You deserve this gift of 0.2 WGOLD from @kairke. Keep up the exceptional work!
BTW! WGOLD is the token of the War of Clans ecosystem, you can use it to have discounts in all our games or stake it and earn rewards now!
If you can make a true multichain DEx with Hive, then do so. But this looks like a centralized exchange to me. It seems like an automated CEx.
Hi,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I understand your concerns and appreciate the opportunity to clarify our vision and efforts.
Our goal with Hive CrossDEX is to bridge the gap between Hive and the broader DeFi ecosystem, enhancing Hive's utility and accessibility. While our approach involves some centralized elements for efficiency and user experience, the core of our solution aims to maintain decentralization principles.
We're not just creating another exchange; we're building infrastructure to enable direct, decentralized transactions from EVM chains to Hive, bypassing the need for centralized exchanges. This effort is crucial for Hive's growth and integration into the wider DeFi world.
Our work with Splinterlands, transferring $58 million USD to Hive, showcases our commitment and capability. Despite the challenges, we're dedicated to developing solutions like Swidge to facilitate direct Hive purchases, aiming to open up Hive to a global audience.
We understand the importance of community support and are here to contribute to Hive's DeFi ecosystem actively. Your support for our proposal would not only validate our efforts but also help us continue to innovate and integrate Hive more deeply into the DeFi space.
Let's work together to expand Hive's reach and potential. Your vote for our proposal would be a step towards a more interconnected and decentralized future for Hive.
Thank you for considering our perspective. We're here for any further discussion or clarification you might need.
Best regards,
Team TeraBlock
How about this: I wrote an article on having a kind of trust-less trading system. My goal was to make cross chain atomic swaps between Hive and bitcoin like chains but I couldn't work out how to do it. Hive doesn't have a scripting language at all. Because of this, I was unable to adapt Mike Hearn's cross chain atomic swaps into something that wouldn't ultimately leave one party trusting another at some point.
The escrow system of Hive is a second. People escrow send and the escrow agent can approve or return the money according to whether the other party sends the funds. The escrow agent is unable to just keep the money. But the agent could conspire with the holder of Hive to return the money even though the other transfer completed successfully. That's not good. If the agent is honest, there is no risk even if the traders are both dishonest or one is dishonest.
Even though Hive doesn't have scripts. It has multisignature. I could setup an account that requires signatures from your account, my account, and several other users' accounts. In this example, those users I listed could watch transactions on the other chains and approve escrow Hive transfers based on that. Except that all of these users would have to have programs watching so there would be enough signatures.
In this example, the single Hive user would have to conspire with several other users who would earn money from escrow transfers. A loss of real world reputation in Hive (not the rep score) would hurt them from earning Hive earnings and working as an escrow agent. It would seem really unlikely that three unrelated users would conspire in this way much less four or five.
