Hey @zz_tovarishch, thank you for posting these updates, they are pretty useful for understanding what’s going on in the Community!

I was wondering, why no mention of the Community DAO Rosen Bridge Integration successful Phase 1 voting?

Pretty sure it’s part of the Ecosystem too,
Phroi

zz_tovarishch · January 8, 2026, 2:32pm

Thanks for the reminder, added!

matt_ckb · January 21, 2026, 8:15pm

any more information on this?

JackyLHH · January 22, 2026, 1:09am

Forwarding the explanation from AirFi:

How did we establish Perun channels even though JoyID doesn’t support it?

RE: The trick is that JoyID doesn’t need to understand Perun at all. We created a workaround using temporary wallets. Here’s how it works: when a user wants to use WiFi, our backend generates a tempor\ary wallet (a random secp256k1 keypair) on the server side. The user just needs to send CKB from whatever wallet they have like JoyID, Neuron, or anything else to this temporary address. Once our backend detects the incoming CKB, it handles all the Perun stuff: opening the channel, signing states, processing payments, everything. From the user’s perspective, they just scan a QR code, send CKB, and the WiFi starts working. They don’t need to know Perun exists. All the complexity is abstracted away in the backend. The relevant code is in internal/guest/wallet.go for wallet generation and cmd/backend/channel.go for the channel opening logic.

Who is the channel established with and where do the funds flow?

RE: The channel is opened between two parties: the Guest (the person who wants to use WiFi) and the Host (our backend server that provides the WiFi service). The fund flow goes like this: First, the user sends CKB to the temporary wallet address. Our backend monitors the blockchain and detects when the payment arrives. At this point, we also identify the sender’s original address from the transaction inputs - this is important for refunds later. Once we detect sufficient funding, the backend opens a Perun channel. The guest’s contribution goes into the channel (minus a reserve for channel setup costs), and the host adds 100 CKB as well. The channel is now active on CKB Testnet. During usage, micropayments flow from guest to host through off-chain state updates. When the session ends, the channel settles on-chain, and any remaining balance gets sent back to the user’s original wallet address. We use the official Perun smart contracts deployed on CKB Testnet, specifically PCTS for channel state management, PCLS for access control, and PFLS for fund locking and release. The deployment details are in internal/perun/deployment.go

And this for transaction https://testnet.explorer.nervos.org/transaction/0x0308379ce51cae5e91bc2225e3ece927488501303e3e628bb2c9ecbbbd852868

image_11520×813 43.3 KB

How do pricing and payments work during channel usage?

RE: The default rate is 500 CKB per hour, which works out to about 8.33 CKB per minute. Users need to send at least 1000 CKB to start, 500 for channel setup reserve and 500 for minimum one hour of usage. The payment mechanism is handled by a background loop that runs every 60 seconds. Each iteration, the system checks the user’s remaining balance. If there’s enough to cover the next minute, it sends an off-chain payment through the Perun channel, the guest’s balance decreases and the host’s balance increases. If there’s not enough balance left, the channel gets settled immediately. The key thing here is that these payments happen off-chain. There’s no blockchain transaction every minute - just state updates that both parties sign. This makes it efficient, instant, and cheap. The go-perun library handles all the cryptographic signing automatically. For security, every state update requires valid signatures from both the guest and host. The backend tracks balances in its database and automatically triggers settlement when funds run low. The code for this is in cmd/backend/session.go around lines 88-145

How does channel closing and fund refunds work?

RE: Settlement can be triggered in three ways: the session times out, the balance isn’t enough for the next micropayment, or the user manually ends their session. When settlement happens, the process goes like this: First, we mark the channel state as final. Then we submit the settlement transaction to the CKB blockchain. The Perun smart contracts verify the signatures and distribute the final balances back to each party according to the last agreed state. For the refund specifically, we wait about 30 to 120 seconds for the settlement to confirm on-chain. Then we collect all the UTXOs that ended up in the guest’s temporary wallet. We build a single transaction that sweeps everything and sends it to the original sender address - the one we detected when the user first funded the wallet. We sign this with the guest’s private key and submit it to the network. The refund goes directly back to whatever address the user sent from originally. They don’t need to input anything manually, we figured out their address by looking at the first input of their funding transaction. The withdrawal logic is in internal/perun/withdraw.go and cmd/backend/session.go handles the orchestration.

Latest updates: Due to project architecture issues, the Spark Program Committee decided to terminate AirFi’s funding on Jan 17. More info and project architecture discussions can be found on Spark Program channels in Discord: https://discord.com/channels/657799690070523914/1430878385504124939
