cellular.id is live. So, what are .cell names? Today, getting paid online usually means handing someone a string of letters and numbers you cannot remember. And you cannot easily check a bank account number, or on a blockchain address, something like ckb1qzda0cr08m85hc8jln... is just too much, one typo and the money is gone... cellula.id takes those details and turn them into a name you chose: maria.cell, joao.cell, whatever you pick. Set it up once and it keeps working, because you hold the only key that moves it, not us. It is yours in a way an account with a company or a bank never is, and it keeps working even if we disappear. People can pay your name in the money they already use: euros, reais or rupees, or, for anyone who does use crypto currencies, your name also accepts CKB, bitcoin, ether, solana, and instant payments over Lightning or Fiber. Before any payment goes through, the payer's browser checks it against the blockchain, so a tampered link warns them rather than quietly taking their money. Your name can even be protected today by a key built to survive computers with quantum technology, dispite the tech still being far into the future. This is all great, we know, and the best part, you do not have to take our word for any of this: the code behind it is public, anyone can run their own copy of the lookup, and even the app itself lives on a blockchain, where its own page checks it against what is actually running. A name like yours, 5 characters long, about $6 a year.

We usually talk about code here. ⚙️🐛 But this time, got any questions about how what we build gets explained to everyone else? Stefan, who leads CKBA's Content & Communications team, is doing an AMA. Got questions for him? Drop them below ↓ teddit.net/r/NervosNetwork/c…

$CKB’s builder scene is busier than you think. Dozens of open-source projects live on the CKBuilders tracker. Right now. The CKBuilders tracker just updated and there are dozens of projects on there. All open source, all being built on $CKB right now, and honestly, some of them are properly cool. There’s a top-down survivor game running on Fiber, actual gaming on a Bitcoin-secured payment layer. There’s a football prediction market where you can bet on matches. There’s a jobs marketplace, and a brand new orderbook exchange being built. That’s just scratching the surface. You’ve got inheritance vaults that lock funds on a timer, identity tools, proof-of-participation systems. Games, finance, identity, the lot. Now, to be fair, a lot of these are early, MVPs and proof-of-concepts, not finished mass-market apps. That’s not the point. The point is the builders are actually here, building. That’s what’s making CKB stronger.

Our CKBuilder tracker has now been updated! Check out the latest things the CKBuilders are working on, including a top-down survivor game on Fiber, a football/soccer prediction market, a work/jobs marketplace, plus 👀 a new orderbook DEX! And so much more. All open source, all on CKB 🔥 Check out the updated list below: github.com/Nervos-Community-…

CoinDesk reports that the US is backing a quantum hardware push with up to $300 million in funding for select companies. Meaning, Bitcoin and Ethereum are racing the quantum clock. CKB already has post-quantum signatures on mainnet—and doesn’t need a protocol fork to add the next scheme. SPHINCS+ runs in a programmable Lock Script. Other schemes can be deployed alongside it, so users can migrate without waiting for a network-wide upgrade. That’s crypto agility: preparing now without locking the network into one cryptographic choice for the next thirty years. Our migration has already started—and if circumstances change, we can change direction on the go instead of starting over. coindesk.com/tech/2026/09/09…

Bitcoin has the liquidity. @ckba_build brings the programmability. RGB++ is where these two worlds meet opening new possibilities for Bitcoin-native assets, applications, and builders. The ecosystem is still early. There’s room to build. $CKB

And that’s a wrap! 🇰🇪🔥 CKB × Kaze Unitour in Mombasa — bringing students and builders together around Bitcoin, self custody, Kaze & the Nervos ecosystem. Mombasa, you showed up! 🫶🏽 Which campus is next? 👀🚀 cc: @NervosNation @ckbsamurai @wycl34226 #Kaze #Nervos #CKB

CKB is landing in Vietnam 🇻🇳 in-person night for CKBuilders, not another X Space

🔥🔥🔥

CKB just pulled 66 Fiber builds in a month, on the payments layer. The winner: apps don’t get your whole wallet anymore.

The results of the Fiber Network Infrastructure Hackathon are now in! It was a hotly contested event with many strong entries from around 100 developers across wallet and payments UX, node/routing/diagnostics, and merchant/LSP tooling. The overall winner: 🥇 Clasp by @dreyethh Other category winners: 🥇Fiber-forge by @truthixifi 🥇FiberNuts by @Code3ks Read more about these projects and the other prizewinners in our announcement thread: talk.nervos.org/t/gone-in-60…

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? 👀

Your “non-custodial” wallet is still asking someone else’s computer what you own. This one checks the chain on your phone.

@Holydigits101 × @NervosNetwork & @usekaze is taking Bitcoin, CKB, and real Web3 education to the Technical University of Mombasa. Wednesday 26th August | 2PM – 5PM Powered with Nervos Community Catalyst & CKBuilders. Africa is not waiting. We are building. If you’re in Mombasa, show up. If you’re watching from anywhere else, follow the movement.

I will call it #CKB

In the latest Reflections of a CKBuilder series, @wuod__odhis writes about how CKB and RGB++ expand Bitcoin's scope for programmable assets in a unique way that leverages UTXO binding and does not rely on bridges. Read more below on the Knowledge Base nervos.org/knowledge-base/bi…

🚀 CKB is now live on Kaze! You can now send, receive, and manage CKB payments directly through the app fast, secure, and built for real-world use. Try it out and let us know what you think 👇 usekaze.app #Kaze #CKB #Fintech @NervosNation

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.
