In this demo, your browser runs a Fiber WASM light node. You log in with Passkey, open a channel, and start charging.
From that point on, Fiber streams 0.5 CKB per 5 seconds while the battery fills.
A key piece here is multi-hop routing—You only open *one* channel with a Router to pay any station network (Tesla, EVgo, EA), and the network handles the rest.
This Router naturally becomes a "Hub"—not through centralized protocol privileges, but because the network rewards nodes that provide liquidity and route payments efficiently. A Router is just an ordinary node with higher connectivity in a decentralized network.
Does a Hub mean centralized risk?
No. Unlike Web2 processors, a Fiber Router never touches users’ money—funds are locked in an on-chain channel between you and the Router, which only forwards payment commitments. Channel states are publicly verifiable, paths propagate via gossip protocol, and settlement can always be enforced on-chain.
The demo also includes an Admin Dashboard to show this structural transparency, giving operators clear visibility into real-time routing fees, network transaction data, and station revenue analytics. In traditional platforms, these metrics are a centralized black box.
Fiber’s value proposition isn't just "faster" or "cheaper" transactions. It’s reinventing payments all together, making business models like "pay-as-you-use"—nearly impossible in Web2—practical for the first time.
When payments no longer depend on third-party services, approvals, delays, or meaningful per-transaction costs—and settlement becomes near-instant while users retain control of their funds—"pay-as-you-use" business models become viable at scale.
