Vote for the Return Proposal on Hive: Protect DHF from Abuse and Strengthen Our Community!
In the Hive ecosystem, the Decentralized Development Fund (DHF) is the heart that drives innovation and growth. Fueled by HIVE inflation, this fund has funded incredible projects that have taken our blockchain to the next level: from authentication tools to marketing campaigns and innovative DApps. However, in recent years, we have witnessed an alarming problem: DHF abuse. Poorly executed proposals, a lack of transparency in the use of funds, and inflated requests that do not benefit the community have drained valuable resources. For example, payments of nearly $250,000 have been approved for marketing projects that don't even include the Hive logo, leaving stakeholders feeling like their voting power is wasted.
This abuse not only erodes trust but threatens the sustainability of the DHF. Imagine thousands of HIVE invested in initiatives that lack accountability and deliver no real impact. This is where the Return Proposal comes in, the essential tool to restore balance. Launched in 2019 as Proposal #0, this mechanism acts as a "community filter." It works in a simple yet powerful way: by voting for the Return Proposal with your Hive Power (HP), you set a minimum threshold. Any project that receives fewer votes than this is not funded, returning funds to the general DHF pool. Currently, it has over 61 million HP, stopping most dubious proposals and forcing applicants to demonstrate real value.
Why is it so necessary to vote now? Because the power is in our hands. If HP holders prioritize the Return Proposal, we incentivize quality proposals, promote accountability, and prevent the DHF from becoming a bottomless pit for a few. In theory, any proposal can be defunded if it loses support, but the Return Proposal makes it proactive: it prevents harm before it happens. It's not just about blocking abuse; it's about empowering the community so that the DHF serves everyone.
Hive is decentralized because we make it that way. If you have HP, go to peakd.com/proposals or hive.blog/proposals, find Return Proposal #0, and vote NOW. Your vote isn't a click; it's a declaration that we deserve transparency and excellence. Together, we can clean up the DHF and catapult Hive into a bright future. Ready to protect what's ours?

Return Proposal with 61M HP is a good defense line, but here’s the real question: why should we rely on a passive mechanism to stop DHF abuse in the first place?
You said ‘$250K for marketing without the Hive logo got wasted.’ Well, where was the person who approved that proposal? The problem isn’t just lack of Return Proposal—it’s that there’s no real accountability for voters.
If I use my HP to push through a bad proposal, what are the consequences? Nothing. We just say ‘vote for Return Proposal’ and think we solved it.
Uncomfortable question: if Return Proposal truly worked, why are we talking about it now? Something failed before that we need to vote on it again. Maybe it’s time for an active review system for proposals instead of passive filters?
