One of the more encouraging things this year is that CKB’s builder ecosystem kept expanding while much of the industry was doing the opposite. Teams were shrinking, budgets were being cut, and a lot of speculative activity disappeared. Meanwhile, more developers kept showing up to experiment on CKB. Today, over 100 are working on or exploring the network: - 70 formal CKBuilders working through a structured program - ~40 more coming in through Build on CKB, an open group for developers curious about the chain - 45 projects now listed on the CKBuilder tracker, with 23 added in a single quarter and 15 submitted for technical review by core CKB developers Claw & Order, a two-week AI Agent hackathon, closed with 22 open-source submissions; 16 came from CKBuilders, including the top two prize winners - The work spans a surprisingly wide range: ZK key recovery for AI agents, a Groth16 zkSNARK verifier, a Fiber desktop client, an ML-DSA post-quantum implementation, a DID reference dashboard, lending primitives, prediction pools, and more Some of these builders are now graduating from experimentation into independent projects. But the more important signal is that all of this happened during one of the bleakest periods for the industry. If this is what the builder pipeline looks like when capital and attention are scarce…what happens when they aren’t? 👀

The payments industry is arriving at a shared conclusion, and it is worth stating plainly: the digital economy needs faster, smaller, more frequent, and more flexible ways to move value than either legacy rails or individual onchain transactions can provide. Look at what is being built. Circle Gateway offers gas-free USDC nanopayments through offchain authorizations and batched settlement. Stripe and Bridge are building stablecoin infrastructure for payments, payouts, treasury, and global money movement. Tempo’s MPP Sessions let customers pay continuously through offchain vouchers, while x402 gives applications and agents an open standard for requesting payments over the internet. Different projects, different approaches, one direction: more value is moving offchain, into smaller and more programmable payment flows. Fiber belongs to this movement, but tackles a different layer of the problem. x402 and MPP help software request and authorize payments. Tempo makes repeated payments inside a bilateral service relationship more efficient. Circle and Stripe make stablecoin payments operationally convenient through managed infrastructure. Fiber is building the open network those payments can travel through. Rather than requiring a separately funded relationship with every recipient, Fiber routes payments through shared network liquidity. Anyone can connect, run a node, provide liquidity, route payments, or build applications on top—and payers can reach recipients across the network without opening a direct channel with each one. The simplest way to understand Fiber: Connect to the network. Pay across it.

The recent Fiber Network Infrastructure Hackathon yielded an unprecedented level of participation, with around 100 participants and 66 final submissions. It might be a bear market, but developer activity on CKB and Fiber is surging. Read the full roundup and project summaries on Nervos Talk https://t.co/uZr6bXxgpD
