Already voted for years :).
simply do a proposal, IMO if it could lower the cost to a very affordable level to get Smts to hive for everyone, it should get voted.
Even the Whales that don't want to support any sidechain know, cheap smts are a key metric for hives success + onboarding.
But I agree with the point, Hive engine has its own government system and the average hive user has no influence on it. That is something that makes it difficult IMO.
I think you know better what cost/ benefit would be.
Besides the DAO, I think you have a really good reputation to raise additional funds for a project :) And if some whales do MIMIMI, Hive engine deliver a product that works. IMO if HE could handle soft wallets for super cheap onboarding, it would be worth to fund 1000%!!!
