Updates
As CKB matures, development is increasingly focused on optimization, verification efficiency, and reproducible infrastructure. CKB continues to receive steady improvements at the core protocol level, ensuring the system remains robust and scalable
Going forward, the CKB Dev Log will shift to a monthly cadence, reflecting a more focused and incremental development cycle.
Features
- Further CKB-VM performance improvements, including arm64 assembly optimizations: SHxADD / ADDUW Instruction Optimization on AArch64
Improvements & Fixes
- Optimized SP1 verificationReduced cycles from ~6000M to ~63M (~100x improvement), significantly improving verification efficiency: Verification benchmark on ckb-vm
- SMT verification benchmark on ckb-vm: Latest results indicate performance reaching a production-viable level
- Further improvements to SP1 /
ckb-vmperformance, along with updates to supporting tooling and expanded fuzzing coverage.
In Pipeline
- Reproducible builds progressing across platformsLinux
x86_64and Windowsx86_64already working, with continued work underway: add Guix reproducible release flow forLinux,MacOS,Windows - QUIC support for tentacle under exploration, aiming to improve networking performance and reliability: Feature: QUIC Support Plan tentacle
Community Discussion
- Pre-RFC: Activating the Nervos DAO Treasury
A high-level discussion is underway on transitioning from the current treasury burn mechanism to an on-chain, governance-controlled treasury model.The proposal explores:- Modification of the “burn” mechanism
- Voting & DAO contracts
- Possible consensus change
- Delegation mechanisms
- Potential ZK-assisted verification
- Evaluation of inflation impact and governance risks
