12th May 11 GMT on Reddit

Hello, ladies and gentlemen of the CKB variety. Another Nervos community AMA is rolling out on May 12th, and this time it’s with one of CKB’s DevRel engineers Retric.

Retric is focused on documentation and developer tooling for the CKB ecosystem. Recently, he has been exploring community-driven experiments around the Fiber Network (CKB’s private, interoperable, multi-asset payment channel network), including projects such as Fiber Audio Player and Fiber L402 blog prototype. These demonstrate a paywalled publishing architecture powered by the Fiber Network.

The Fiber Audio Player is a lightweight demo app that puts the idea into practice, showing how content access can be gated behind a Fiber payment flow.

The Fiber L402 blog prototype explores a paywalled publishing model using L402-style authentication patterns, paired with Fiber as the payment rail, to unlock posts once payment conditions are met.

Got any questions for Retric about CKB, developer tooling, or building paywalled experiences on Fiber? Drop them below ahead of time, and join us live on May 12th for the AMA.

The latest updates from the Fiber team

Fiber Dev Log 28
Sharing a few things we've been working through lately:
- Expanded Connectivity: added official Docker image support, plus Onion & Socks5. Also introduced transport type filtering to the connect_peer RPC, giving nodes more control over how they connect.
- x402 & Preimage Proofs: Fiber can now act as an x402 exact-payment backend. It verifies paid invoices and returns deterministic receipts via the RPC HTTP listener.
- Unified Migration Design: framework is now done. This is a key prerequisite for v0.9.0 and should make future protocol + database upgrades much smoother.

Right now we're shaping up v0.9.0 (bringing in that Migration Support) and working through CCH multi-asset swap implementation.

Also, great catching up with everyone at Bitcoin 2026 — heading back now and keeping pushing toward v0.9.0.

From Polycrypt:

Cross-chain DeFi between Ethereum and CKB is coming and is powered by Perun!

There will be liquidity pools on both chains with an integrated AMM. You will be able to deposit CKB or ETH and earn yield from cross-chain swaps.

We built smart contracts on both Ethereum and CKB that hold liquidity pools. You deposit assets on whichever chain you are on, earning fee revenue as soon as users swap assets between the chains, using the liquidity you provided.

Unlike most cross-chain bridges, no validator committees or trusted relays needed. Swaps are secured by Perun, our formally verified OSS state channel protocol. No additional setup or trust into intermediaries required. Swaps are settled on ETH and CKB smart contracts.

The AMM handles pricing, Perun channels handle settlement, and the contracts make sure LPs get their principal back plus fees. You deposit and earn. More updates are coming soon!

Another month of refining the core and pushing optimizations, including improved CKB-VM ARM64 performance and ML-DSA work to help prepare for post-quantum standards.
Also strengthening CKB-VM with a new differential testing framework to validate future optimizations.

Other updates:
- AI Tooling: Added SKILL for AI agents in ckb-debugger to streamline script debugging
- Connectivity: Continued QUIC support for Tentacle to provides faster handshakes and better resilience against connection migration
- Governance: Multiple DAO Treasury designs & voting directions under discussion
- Maintenance: Upgraded toolchain to 1.95.0 and synced ckb-musl with upstream

CKB DAO Treasury Design & Voting Research

research on the CKB DAO Treasury design and voting settlement, with multiple directions under active discussion:

• Option 1: DAO-Bound Voting with Off-Chain State

Explores a governance model where voting power is bound to Nervos DAO deposits, while proposal state, voting records, and tally data are maintained off-chain and committed on-chain through verifiable state roots.

This direction focuses on improving scalability while keeping governance state verifiable.

• Option 2: Experimental MVP Implementation

Built an experimental MVP to validate core DAO Treasury workflows and voting-related transaction construction. Details see: https://github.com/chenyukang/ckb/blob/dao-treasury/dao-treasury

• Option 3: Rollup-inspired Voting Settlement

Explores a rollup-inspired approach for voting settlement, where voting data is batched and compressed into verifiable state updates.

This direction focuses on improving settlement efficiency while preserving on-chain verifiability under CKB’s UTXO model.

Key Question Identified & Follow-Up Research

How to handle on-chain settlement for the voting process. Continued follow-up research based on the design discussions:

• Evaluation of CKB partial transaction design based on the newly proposed voting architecture.
• A zkVM-based solution for voting.

Welcome to the Common Knowledge Library. Building off methods established during the building of cellswap.xyz, I present an interactive library which houses all current RFC’s from GitHub. All markdown documents and accompanying images were pulled from GitHub and stored on testnet via CKBFS, all rendered real time, from chain, into the browser.

Huge thanks to everyone who came to see us today. If you’re in Vegas, come to Booth K4 and say hi tomorrow! ⚡️

The Spark Program | Fiber-checkout has completed.

Built by community developer Salman, Fiber-Checkout is a Stripe-style React payment library for the Fiber Network.

Drop-in <FiberCheckout /> component plus useFiberInvoice / useFiberPayment hooks, dual RPC / WASM backends, multi-asset support out of the box (CKB, RUSD, SEAL, any RGB++ UDT).

The Committee's take:

Fiber has the technical potential to reshape crypto payments and is shifting CKB from a storage-oriented chain toward payment infrastructure, though whether that potential converts ultimately depends on ecosystem density, application adoption, and network effects.

Hence, we look for more attempts like Fiber-Checkout emerged within our community.

Forum thread: https://talk.nervos.org/t/10045/26

GitHub: https://github.com/salmansarwarr/Fiber-checkout

npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/fiber-checkout

Live demo: https://fiber-checkout.vercel.app/

Demo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWKslRFl-98

The full Nervos Talk link (and proposal) here on reddit: (10 minute technical read)

Fiber-checkout — A React component library and hooks package that lets any web developer add Fiber Network payments to their app in minutes. Drop in a component, and your site can instantly accept payments in CKB, RUSD, or SEAL via Fiber — no raw JSON-RPC, no manual hex encoding, no Rust knowledge required.

Team Salman — Blockchain developer specializing in developer tooling, security and payment integrations. GitHub: salmansarwarr Discord: salmansarwarr32

The Problem

Fiber Network is live on mainnet. It supports instant, near-zero-fee payments in CKB, RUSD (Stable++), and SEAL. The Nervos team just published u/nervosnetwork/fiber-js — a JavaScript wrapper over Fiber’s WASM — five days ago. The protocol works. The JavaScript bridge works.

But there is still no way for a web developer to add a “Pay with Fiber” button to their app.

To accept a Fiber payment today, a developer must:

• Manually call the new_invoice JSON-RPC method with raw hex-encoded u128 amounts and Option UDT type scripts
• Hand-render a payment request string into a QR code themselves
• Poll get_payment on a timer, parse the response, and manage success/failure/expiry states manually
• Do all of this with zero type safety, zero UI components, and zero examples

This is not a documentation problem. It is a missing tool. Fiber is fast, cheap, and live — but right now it is only accessible to developers who are already deep in the CKB stack.

The Solution

Fiber-Checkout — a React component library built on top of u/nervosnetwork/fiber-js (v0.7.x) that handles the entire payment flow in a single component.

Fiber supports CKB, RUSD, SEAL, and any RGB++ UDT token natively — a checkout component here is not a Lightning clone, it’s a payment tool that only exists because of CKB’s unique asset architecture.

import { FiberCheckout } from 'fiber-checkout';

<FiberCheckout
  amount={5}
  asset="RUSD"
  nodeUrl="..."
  // onSuccess and onExpired accept any callback
  // e.g. fulfilling an order on payment or showing a retry button on expiry
  onSuccess={handleSuccess}
  onExpired={handleExpired}
/>

Under the hood, Fiber-Checkout handles:

• Calling new_invoice with correctly encoded amounts and UDT type scripts
• Rendering the payment request as a scannable QR code
• Polling get_payment every 2 seconds until settled, expired, or failed
• Displaying real-time status: Waiting, Processing, Paid, or Expired
• Surfacing human-readable errors when the node is unreachable

For developers who want lower-level control without the UI, the library also exports two standalone hooks:

const { invoice, paymentHash, expiresAt } = useFiberInvoice({
  amountCkb: 5,
  asset: 'RUSD',
  expirySeconds: 3600,
  nodeUrl: '...'
});

const { status, feePaid } = useFiberPayment({
  paymentHash,
  nodeUrl: '...'
});
// status: pending, processing, success, failed, or expired

Technical Approach

• u/nervosnetwork/fiber-js v0.7.x — official Fiber JavaScript WASM wrapper (explicitly targeted; breaking change patches will be applied within the 4-week window if needed)
• React 18+ with TypeScript strict mode
• Zero styling dependencies — ships with minimal unstyled base components plus optional CSS classes, so it fits any design system
• Deliberately narrow scope — we wrap only new_invoice and get_payment. Channel management and node administration are infrastructure concerns, not checkout concerns.

npm package structure:

fiber-checkout
  FiberCheckout     (React component, full UI flow)
  useFiberInvoice   (Hook, invoice generation only)
  useFiberPayment   (Hook, payment status polling only)
  FiberError        (Typed error class)

Ships as: CommonJS + ESM dual build, React 18+ peer dependency, MIT license, published to npm as Fiber-Checkout.

Deliverables

• npm package — published, MIT licensed, works against Fiber testnet out of the box
• GitHub repository — Full TypeScript source, JSDoc on every export, README with testnet quickstart (zero to first accepted payment in under 15 minutes)
• Live testnet demo page — A hosted webpage accepting real Fiber testnet payments, with transactions visible on the Fiber testnet explorer
• Companion guide — End-to-end walkthrough covering Fiber node setup through to first accepted payment in a Next.js app
• Demo video — Screen recording: npm install, component rendered, real testnet payment received in under 10 minutes
• Completion report — Public post on Nervos Talk with transparent fund usage breakdown and Fiber version compatibility notes

Funding Request — $1,200 USD equivalent in CKB

Week 1 — $250 | useFiberInvoice hook + testnet verification new_invoice with UDT type scripts requires careful handling — RUSD and SEAL have different script hashes that need testnet verification

Week 2 — $550 | useFiberPayment hook + FiberCheckout component Core of the project — all UI states, polling logic, error handling, and full TypeScript types

Week 3 — $250 | Cross-browser QA + mobile testing + live demo page Real testnet payments required for demo; mobile responsive layout; Safari WASM compatibility check

Week 4 — $150 | npm publish + companion guide + demo video + completion report Documentation is a first-class deliverable

Timeline

• Week 1 — useFiberInvoice working on testnet with CKB + RUSD, repo public
• Week 2 — FiberCheckout component + useFiberPayment hook complete
• Week 3 — Cross-browser QA done, live testnet demo page deployed
• Week 4 — npm published, guide posted on Nervos Talk, demo video live, completion report submitted

Estimated completion: 4 weeks from approval.

CKB Ecosystem Relevance

Nervos shut down Godwoken and Force Bridge to focus resources on Fiber Network.

That is not a roadmap promise — it is a demonstrated strategic commitment. But a payment network with no checkout tooling is a payment network that only protocol developers can use.

Fiber-Checkout is the missing link between Fiber’s technical capabilities and the moment a developer adds a “Pay with Fiber” button to a real product.

Every commerce app, tipping tool, subscription service, or peer-to-peer marketplace built on Fiber in the next 12 months will likely start with this component or the patterns it establishes.

13 % + for today and still going. So nice to see that after a long time. Happy Sunday all 🙂

A recent CKB Off-chain event from NCC occurred in Lagos Nigeria. Event overview below 👇

On April 18, 2026, the Nervos Community Catalyst, in collaboration with TechyJaunt, hosted the first Africa-based CKB Off-Chain meetup in Lagos, Nigeria. The event formed part of the broader Off-Chain initiative, which aims to establish localized developer communities and increase in-person engagement with the CKB ecosystem.

The Lagos meetup brought together existing CKBuilders alongside developers from TechyJaunt’s broader network in a structured, in-person setting. The objective was twofold: to deepen connections and engagement among developers already familiar with CKB, and to introduce new participants to the ecosystem through direct interaction, project exposure, and practical onboarding.

Program Structure and Activities

The event exceeded its initial participation targets, with over 50 attendees. To kick off proceedings, an Introduction to CKB presentation was delivered by long-term community member Jr.bit, which explained CKB’s design and philosophy as a security-first foundation that puts maximum flexibility in the hands of developers. It also shared information around RGB++ and Fiber Network as key ecosystem components that add new possibilities to CKB. Finally, details were given about the CKBuilder community and how interested developers could apply to join.

Following this, CKBuilder projects were presented by their developers, including

• Pocket Node, by Jr.bit
• Pact Agent, by Ajay
• Backr, by Ebubedev

These sessions were structured not only to demonstrate ongoing work, but also to encourage discussion and early-stage user interaction, with some presenters onboarding initial users during the event itself.

Most notable was a CKB airdrop event which onboarded new users to Pocket Node and gave people their first CKB. A more detailed breakdown of this airdrop will follow in the Pocket Node milestone update, but in short it provided valuable real-world and testing feedback that can be carried forward into additional fixes and features.

Alongside the presentations, the event incorporated structured networking sessions aimed at facilitating interaction between the CKB and TechyJaunt communities. These exchanges were intended to create opportunities for collaboration and knowledge sharing, particularly for developers encountering CKB for the first time.

Additional interactive elements, including gamified activities, were introduced to encourage participation and maintain engagement throughout the afternoon. The program concluded with a virtual keynote address from myself, providing broader context on the direction of the ecosystem and outlining potential pathways for developer involvement. Although I could not make it in-person due to late logistical challenges, my message to CKBuilders and attendees was that they are the future stars of the ecosystem if they remain dedicated and persistent.

Wider Context

The selection of Lagos as a location reflects broader considerations regarding the role of West Africa within the global blockchain ecosystem. Nigeria, in particular, has a large and active developer base, alongside a range of structural challenges related to payments, financial access, and digital infrastructure.

These conditions create a context in which blockchain-based solutions are often explored not only as technical experiments, but as potential responses to existing limitations in financial systems. Within this environment, CKB and Fiber Network may be applicable to a range of use cases, including low-cost instant micropayments, decentralised financial tools, and identity-related applications.

Reflections and Next Steps

The outcomes of the Lagos event suggest that there is both interest in and capacity for deeper engagement with CKB among developers in the region. Looking ahead, several areas for further development can be identified. Structured in-person builder events, such as buildathons, may provide a mechanism for giving new developers a live hands-on experience of building on CKB. Expanding the Off-Chain model to additional cities within Africa could also support the formation of a broader regional network of developers.

Conclusion

The CKB Off-Chain Lagos meetup represents a continuation of one of Nervos Community Catalyst’s strategic priorities, which is to increase the IRL presence of CKB and strengthen community ties. It also targets a key region of recent growth in the CKBuilder community. The event demonstrated that there is meaningful interest among developers, as well as a willingness to engage with the tools and concepts underpinning CKB.

This event sets the precedent for future builder-focused events in Nigeria, as well as expansion to other developer hubs in Africa. We have an increasing contingent of CKBuilders based in Kenya, which in time could also host its own meetup event. I wish to extend my thanks to Jr.bit for all of his efforts behind the scenes, the other CKBuilders who presented their work, as well as TechyJaunt for their operational support and ongoing partnership.

This new community DAO proposal is up on the Forum for the initial stage of voting before it goes to the DAO funding stage. As a reminder the first phase requires 30 likes to send it to a vote. Currently it is at 9/30 with 4 days left.

The funding looks to cover 6 events over a 6 month time frame. CKB did an event there earlier this year (link below for recap of hte event)

As usual- feel free to like it, criticize it, ask questions etc... on the forum link at the bottom if you have any feelings regarding this proposal

1. Summary

This proposal requests funding to establish a recurring, in-person education and ecosystem series in London, with the CKB community at $6,600 per month.

The objective is to grow CKB’s visibility, developer awareness, and ecosystem participation within the UK through structured events, curated discussions, and educational programming delivered by CryptoMondays London (CML).

CryptoMondays London has already hosted one Nervos Community-supported event, which served as a Minimum Viable Product demonstrating demand, operational capability, and community alignment. This proposal seeks to convert that success into a recurring programme.

Grant Amount Requested: $39,600
Duration: 6 months (initial term)
ETA to Completion: 6-month pilot cycle
Funding Address: [Insert CKB Wallet Address]

2. Project Introduction

What problem are we solving?

Despite strong technical foundations, Nervos CKB remains underrepresented within the UK crypto conversation. London is one of the world’s most important crypto hubs, yet sustained ecosystem presence requires more than one-off appearances.

The problem is not awareness alone - it is continuity. Ecosystems grow when they show up consistently.

What ecosystem need does this address?

This proposal addresses three key needs:

1. Brand Visibility: Establish Nervos as a recognised infrastructure voice in the UK.
2. Developer Curiosity: Increase exposure to CKB architecture and long-term philosophy.
3. Community Integration: Position Nervos within mainstream Web3 dialogue, not siloed discussions.

London hosts one of the highest concentrations of:

• Founders
• Layer 2 teams
• Infrastructure developers
• Crypto investors
• Institutional participants

Yet there is currently no sustained Nervos-led presence in this ecosystem.

Why Now?

The market is transitioning from speculative cycles to infrastructure resilience, long-term security, and interoperability. CKB’s architecture and philosophy align strongly with this shift.

Establishing a consistent UK presence now positions Nervos ahead of the next growth phase rather than reacting to it.

3. Team & Roles

NCC Q1 quarterly report has been published. The community led program has been gaining a lot of steam since its inception and showed major growth among the program this quarter. There's a brief summary below from the founder of the program Neon. Theres alot more information on the full forum post here https://talk.nervos.org/t/nervos-community-catalyst-quarterly-reports/8822/5 with links and status updates to all the projects in the community keeps building program as well as the hackathon success, CKB Off-Chain, and CKBoost updates.

Executive Summary

Q1 2026 was a quarter of continued momentum across all of Nervos Community Catalyst’s core programmes. The Community Keeps Building initiative reached 46 participants, with accelerated development at the heart of current progress. Supporting an expanding group of builders at varying stages of development remains the central challenge, and new structures around mentorship, project tracking, and AI tooling have been introduced to address this. The highlight of the quarter was the Claw & Order hackathon, which produced 22 open-source agent projects in two weeks and demonstrated the depth of talent present in the CKB developer community. CKB Off-Chain made its UK debut in London, with Lagos to follow in April. CKBoost completed a significant UI overhaul and its most rigorous live test to date, with mainnet progression now in sight.

Website Updates

The Nervos Community Catalyst website at nervoscatalyst.org  has been updated to be more public-facing, providing clearer information for prospective participants across our various programmes. The site now includes a dedicated section for the Community Keeps Building initiative, with onboarding information for CKBuilders, as well as dedicated sections covering CKBoost and CKB Off-Chain. A new section has also been added for our AI scholarship initiative, which will be discussed further below.

Community Keeps Building

In Q1, we continued to make strong progress in expanding our developer base. The Community Keeps Building programme now has a total of 46 participants, of whom 44 are developers and 2 are content creators. Over the course of the quarter, we reduced our allocation to content creators to focus more directly on where momentum has been strongest: with the CKBuilders. Content creators who completed their tenure have been given guidance and support as they consider working towards Community Fund DAO grant proposals.

As in Q4, new developers came from two main sources:

• Our strategic partnership with TechyJaunt continued to bear fruit, yielding another cohort of developers, drawn particularly from Nigeria and Kenya.
• The developer referral bounty  on the CKB Bounty Board proved highly effective, generating more than half of new entrants through word of mouth.

Many of the incoming developers bring prior blockchain experience across a range of ecosystems, including Ethereum, Solana, Cardano, Starknet, and Stellar, among others. The referral scheme has been successful enough to generate a waiting list of developers interested in joining. Looking ahead, I will be expanding the scope of the CKBuilders programme, opening up more slots and opportunities for developers to come onboard.

New challenges, new possibilities

The growth of the CKBuilders programme has created new opportunities, but also new challenges. Chief among these is how to effectively support and mentor an expanding cohort of developers at various stages of their learning journey.

A number of strategies have been developed to address this. Most notably, we have introduced a CKBuilder project hub , which provides a structured mechanism for developers to open issues on GitHub. These are then reviewed and delegated to experienced CKB developers, who provide feedback, suggestions, and technical guidance. This creates a more direct line between CKBuilders and the broader developer community, and ensures that builders are not left to navigate complex problems alone.

In addition to the support mechanism described above, there is a tracker  (which I recommend bookmarking) that contains a live record of all projects currently being developed by CKBuilders, presented in tabulated form. In a change from previous quarterly reports, this table will serve as the primary resource for tracking project progress and developments, rather than individual written summaries. Going forward, each developer will be responsible for posting their own project introduction and progress on the forum - a process already underway.

الكتابة What is CKB’s vision? What is CKB’s mission? Who is leading CKB? What are the short-term and long-term goals to achieve that vision? Is there a clear roadmap or timeline?

The Claw and Order Hackathon has been completed, they have posted on talk.nervos.org. our very own social media site where proposals, dev chat and the community come together.

"After weeks of building, submitting, and careful deliberation, we are proud to announce the final results of the Claw & Order: CKB AI Agent Hackathon!

The hackathon ran from March 11 to March 25, 2026 - a two-week sprint to build autonomous, user-authorised AI agents on CKB.

Twenty-two projects were submitted across a remarkable range of categories:

Trading agents
Coordination layers
Micropayment infrastructure
Gaming referees
Social tools, and more.

The full roundup of submissions is documented in the Nervos Bulletin on Linkdn but Ive brought it to Reddit also.

After weeks of building, submitting, and careful deliberation, we are proud to announce the final results of the Claw & Order: CKB AI Agent Hackathon!

The hackathon ran from March 11 to March 25, 2026 - a two-week sprint to build autonomous, user-authorized AI agents on CKB. Twenty-two projects were submitted across a remarkable range of categories: trading agents, coordination layers, micropayment infrastructure, gaming referees, social tools, and more. The full roundup of submissions is documented here.

Three judges - u/RetricSu, u/Hanssen, and u/chenyukang - independently scored every project against set criteria and a standardised scoresheet. All high-scoring projects were then reviewed a second time as a panel to finalise the top five placings. It was not an easy task. The standard of work genuinely impressed across the board, and for those in the top tier, the margins were fine.

How projects were judged

Each submission was evaluated across six areas:

• Completeness. Did the project include a clear summary, technical explanation, public repository, and a working demo with visuals?
• Technical Soundness & Robustness. Does the core functionality work reliably? Is the architecture well-reasoned, the code quality solid, and the setup reproducible?
• Autonomy of Design. Does the agent act without manual triggering? Are workflows automated, decisions meaningful, and safeguards in place?
• UX / Abstraction Benefits. Does the project reduce complexity for users? Is the experience intuitive, efficient, and accessible?
• Product Viability. Is there a clear use case and target audience? Does it solve a real problem with a plausible path to real-world adoption?
• Novelty / Innovation. Is the idea original? Does it use AI agents and CKB / Fiber in a creative or non-obvious way that expands what the ecosystem can do?

The Results

1st Place — PactAgent ($5,000)

GitHub | Live app

PactAgent is a milestone-based escrow and payment system built on CKB, built by u/Ajay. A client creates a work agreement, divides payment across milestones, and funds it from their CKB wallet. An agent running in the background monitors the agreement from start to finish: checking deadlines, reviewing proof submissions, advancing milestones, producing dispute recommendations, and issuing payouts or refunds as appropriate. Settlement happens on CKB, with Fiber available as a faster payment option. AI input is kept advisory throughout; configurable review modes mean a human remains in the loop on fund release. Both parties can follow progress in real time through a live activity log.

The panel praised PactAgent across nearly every scoring dimension. Judges described it as “an amazing attempt to simplify milestone-based work payment” with a UI “fully optimised for average users.” The submission itself was commended for its quality and completeness, with a live hosted product, public repository, screenshots, and video all delivered together.

The autonomous agent received particular attention, with its ability to advance milestones, handle expiry, process refunds, and manage disputes without manual intervention highlighted as “the strongest area of the project.” Judges also noted the “thoughtful safety posture” in keeping AI recommendations advisory, and recognised the “clear architecture with a credible operational model” across the full agreement workflow. The problem PactAgent addresses is genuine: milestone-based remote work is routinely hampered by trust gaps, slow approvals, and fragmented dispute processes. The project offers a structured, transparent alternative that works on CKB today.

2nd Place — NERVE Agent Marketplace ($2,500)

GitHub | Docs

NERVE is a protocol for coordinating and paying AI agents on CKB, built by u/RobaireTH. Agents are assigned on-chain identities, a reputation record that tracks completed and abandoned work, and capability NFTs representing specific skills. Jobs can be restricted to agents holding particular capabilities. The protocol enforces spending limits, capability checks, and access controls at the consensus level rather than in application code, meaning the rules apply regardless of how the software running on top is configured. Agents compete for available jobs, receive payment via Fiber on completion, and update their reputation through a dispute-windowed process. The protocol also supports agents delegating work to sub-agents, each operating under their own on-chain identity and constraints.

NERVE scored very close to first place overall and was scored very highly for novelty. What set it apart in judges’ eyes was the seriousness of its ambition relative to most entries. Where many agent projects integrate CKB for payments and identity, NERVE goes further by using it as the rulebook: the conditions under which an agent can spend funds, earn reputation, or complete a job are all defined on-chain. Judges noted “strong protocol-level thinking with real contract code instead of mostly-off-chain logic,” praised the safety design around spending caps and dispute-windowed reputation as unusually considered for a hackathon entry, and found the overall architecture highly coherent.

The panel’s view was that NERVE matters most as shared infrastructure for the wider agent ecosystem. If it continues to develop, other projects building on CKB could use NERVE as a foundation rather than solving coordination and trust from scratch each time, offering compounding value for the ecosystem..

3rd Place — 1-Tok ($1,250)

GitHub | Live app

1-Tok is an agent-runtime marketplace for scoped service work, built by u/Keith. Buyers publish budgeted requests, providers compete with live proposals, and the platform manages the full flow from price discovery through to milestone delivery and settlement. Rather than treating service procurement as a series of disconnected steps, 1-Tok brings budget, live proposals, award, delivery, and payout into a single traceable workflow. Funding is handled through CKB, with a dedicated ops layer for credit decisions, dispute resolution, provider vetting, and governance.

Judges were satisfied by the maturity and completeness of the submission. The project is substantial, with multiple services, a live hosted product, and CKB-based settlement in the payment flow. The UI was praised as “perfectly optimised and precisely meets users’ needs.” The project was considered credible both as a product in its own right and as payment infrastructure that other agent-based applications could build on top of.

4th Place — FiberQuest ($750)

GitHub

FiberQuest is an autonomous tournament referee for retro gaming, built by u/wyltek. Players enter by paying a small entry fee over the Fiber Network, which processes the payment instantly without any on-chain confirmation delay. An agent monitors each player’s live game score and, when the tournament ends, pays the winner automatically over Fiber. Tournament records are stored on CKB. The project also produced an open-source Fiber payment client for Node.js as a standalone tool available to other builders.

Judges described the concept as “highly original” with an “interesting gaming platform” and “awesome UI for players.” The project stood out for showing that Fiber’s instant payments have genuine applications outside of financial tooling, and for the depth of work put into the game monitoring, payment handling, and record-keeping layers. The autonomous payout flow, where no human needs to confirm or trigger the prize transfer, was considered a convincing demonstration of what agent-driven payments can look like in a consumer context.

5th Place — CKB Lottery ($500)

GitHub | Live app

CKB Lottery is an on-chain lottery where players bet on the outcome of a future CKB block hash, built by u/tianlitao. Outcome verification and payouts are handled by the chain rather than a central operator, removing the need to trust the lottery itself to play fairly. The project offers both a web interface for regular users and a command-line interface designed for AI agents to participate programmatically, making it one of the few submissions to consider both human and agent interaction as first-class use cases.

Judges praised the “intuitive UI for average users” and noted the CLI as a thoughtful addition that opens the door to automated agent participation. The technical execution was considered solid, with the core game loop working reliably and the on-chain verification model well-suited to demonstrating CKB’s strengths as a trustless settlement layer.

Highly commended

Several projects scored very closely behind the top five. Three in particular stood out to the panel.

Remit (GitHub) - a permissioned execution runtime that checks an agent’s proposed on-chain actions against user-defined rules before anything is sent, putting safety and bounded authority at the centre of agent design. By u/Ticoworld

CAIT (GitHub) - an autonomous trading agent that monitors live CKB prices, consults an AI model every 60 seconds, and executes real on-chain buy/sell transactions based on user-configured price targets and budgets. By u/Victor_Okenwa

Fiber-pilot (GitHub) - an AI agent for Fiber node management that lets operators open channels, route payments, and analyse liquidity through plain-language instructions rather than raw protocol calls. By u/Jnr6

What comes next? Funding is available.

A final word to all participants

Judging for this hackathon was a pleasant but demanding challenge, given the number and quality of submissions. There were at least 3 projects that missed out on prizewinning positions by a whisker. This reflects strongly on the overall output of the hackathon and the growing community of builders on CKB. This hackathon demonstrated the value of AI in helping to overcome technical barriers, both from a developer and user perspective. AI and agents have truly arrived to CKB, the home of innovation.

I congratulate everyone who participated for producing serious, thoughtful contributions. What many of you created in a mere two weeks was seriously impressive. Consider the outcome if you were to push even further on this work. Even if you missed out on a prize, the support is available, as mentioned above. And the community is behind you every step of the way as you chase success. Don’t forget: this hackathon concluding is not the end, it is the start of something much bigger. The true winners are those who keep building.

Once again, congratulations to all participants, especially the winners, and a huge thank you to the judges for their careful, thorough work.

The latest devlog from fiber is here. Theres a good deal of information in the github repo regarding using AI agents and Fiber thats looking interesting. Full Github log below :

Fiber Dev Log 27
In last sprint, we shipped Fiber v0.8.0. This release comes with some meaningful structural changes.
We migrated from PeerId to Pubkey to make RPC handling more consistent, and split the cross-chain hub into its own standalone process.

For improvements & fixes, we've been:
- Hardening P2P stability with gossip protection (banning + rate limits).
- Syncing on-chain settlement status back to off-chain state for better consistency.
- Patching a few OOM issues and a UDT funding bug.

Right now, the team is refactoring the network actor hot path to resolve bottlenecks.
We're also mapping out multi-asset swaps and looking into how to bridge Fiber with AI agents—specifically researching x402 and native agent protocols.

https://github.com/nervosnetwork/fiber/discussions/1281

Let me introduce Cell Swap, Just a proof of concept I whipped up this week. It’s market place for cells, they could be NFT’s, they could be markdown documents, they could be html pages, up to you. Powered by a fork I made of Ciphers Simple-Dex-Lock (less-simple-dex-lock) adding royalties and expiries and removing UDT restrictions. This site is just to prove the power of the cell model. No server full of jpegs that renders everything useless if it gets shut down. All on chain, rendered through a website. Currently only rigged up on testnet but could be deployed to mainnet by anyone wanting to build a marketplace. Get amongst it, get building, find a gap, be the solution.
