CKBA Dev Rel AMA

Cheers everyone!

We’re hosting another AMA as part of our series introducing the team leads within CKBA.

This time, we’ll be joined by Hanssen, who leads CKBA’s Developer Relations team.

Hanssen has been part of the Nervos ecosystem for more than five years. She originally joined the Nervos Foundation as a core developer and stepped into the DevRel team lead role when CKBA was formed.

She created and maintains CCC (CKBer’s Codebase / Common Chains Connector), a major JavaScript/TypeScript SDK and toolchain for building on CKB, alongside related tools and contributions including NervDAO, RGB++ SDK work, and others. Many of the repositories now maintained by CKB DevRel also originated from, or were forked from, her personal GitHub.

What does the DevRel team do?

The team has outlined its responsibilities on GitHub:

In practice, the CKB DevRel team works to:

Improve the overall developer experience for people building on CKB

Foster an open-source culture within the CKB developer community

Build and maintain SDKs, tooling, and protocols such as CCC, Cinnabar, and Spore-related tooling

Compile, improve, and maintain developer documentation, guides, tutorials, and technical articles

Engage with developers through Discord, Nervos Talk, social channels, and direct support

Gather developer feedback and help resolve technical issues

Create and support educational courses and onboarding resources

Sponsor and support hackathons where developers can build, collaborate, and contribute

Provide technical support and onboarding for initiatives such as CKBuilders

Run regular developer office hours and technical updates

Encourage and review open-source contributions from the community

What would you like to ask Hanssen?

Whether you’re curious about the team’s priorities, the current state of CKB developer tooling, how DevRel works with builders across the ecosystem, their approach to developer onboarding and support, or where the developer experience still needs improvement, this is your chance to ask.

Hi guys, big fans here, we just have these 2 questions:

  1. CCC now ships Agent Skills for building with the SDK, and the maintenance notes say there is no eval suite for them yet. Where do you see DevRel’s AI resources going: will they cover on-chain scripts too, writing and reviewing them, and would you take community skills there?
  2. What do builders ask DevRel for most that the team has not had time to build yet? Some of us might be able to pick it up.

Keep up the great work.
