Great AMA recap with @Hanssen0 !
Love the honest take on CKB's tooling evolution, from smoothing out wallet connections with CCC to tackling data indexing.
Plus some great points on why AI won't replace solid protocol architecture anytime soon.
Worth a 5-minute read if you're building in the ecosystem:

A different kind of building at #CKCon 2026! 🇲🇾🌺
We're in Kuala Lumpur this week! Catching up, sharing ideas, and talking about what's next for CKB.
Great to hear updates and fresh ideas from people across the ecosystem, including @RunningCKB, @ckbsamurai, @JackyLHH, @aaaaaaaalive24, @kashortgirl, @aszepieniec, @teaplusplus11, @BitcoinLightApp, with @ebubedev and @rypto joining remotely. Lots of interesting work and discussions about what's next!
And finally we put the laptops aside and built miniature cities together. 🏙
Turns out we've got some pretty good city builders on the team too! 😄
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.

Amazing work again by @wyltek1 on NerdMinerCKB--CKB's ESP32 solo miner!
Forked the NerdSoloMiner, headed to bed... woke up to find the AI agent had ripped out SHA256 and dropped CKB's Eaglesong PoW overnight.🤯
Incredibly inspiring to see a solo builder hack together his own miner as a late-night personal project using AI. This is how grassroots decentralization and open-source are alive and well in Nervos.

🔗Link update: CKB OpenRPC interactive docs, now available at: rpc-explorer.ckbapp.dev
#TeamCKB Dev log
This sprint in CKB, we added an OpenRPC spec with an interactive browser (eval-exec.github.io/ckb-rpc), log subscriptions for real-time debugging, RV64IM assembly mode in CKB-VM, and improved RocksDB efficiency.
We also released a TypeScript boilerplate for building CKB apps from smart contracts to UI. Write, test, deploy and interact with contracts using JS tooling.

🧅Tor / Onion networking, now in CKB v0.204.0:
Privacy, reachability, and censorship resistance—Tor improves node behavior in three ways:
- IP privacy: no direct exposure of your real-world address.
- Inbound reachability: accept peers without port forwarding.
- Censorship resistance: harder to block, harder to observe.
Run your node over Tor guide: docs.nervos.org/docs/node/ru…

Another experimental demo is out🌱
Join Airdrop — a lightweight airdrop-lock contract where users fund their own Cells first to register for the airdrop & receive tokens.
Built entirely in TypeScript.
What it solves:
In CKB's cell model, airdrop issuers typically need to provide extra CKBytes so receivers can accept tokens. Join Airdrop flips this around — users join first and prepare their Cells themselves, making token distribution a lot smoother.
It's a simpler, more scenario-specific alternative to the more general AnyOneCanPay script: github.com/cryptape/anyone-c….

Another mini project out ☕️😎
Exploring what Web5-style payments could look like—Spillman Payment Channel—blending AI chat w/ off-chain micro-payments:
- Chat with AI, pay per message automatically, off-chain
- Web2-level friendly UX + Web3-level security & privacy
- Using CKB's UTXO model for safe "sign first, settle on-chain later" payments
Best part? Contract work all done in JavaScript! 🥳
Fun fact: this demo was built by a front-end dev new to CKB and even blockchain.
Turns out you don't need to be a pro to get a payment system up and running.
Of course, it's open source: github.com/HappySonnyDev/Spi…
Also check out his development journey and see how a front-end dev tackled CKB for the first time:

We’re sharing how we debug flaky tests in CKB. 🕷️
You probably won’t hit this as a dApp builder—
but it’s the kind of work that keeps the infra solid.
So you can just build without worrying.
