🚴 Fiber Dev Log 30 🚴
Recent work has focused mainly on reliability, security hardening, and edge-case handling as we move toward the v0.9 release.
That work is reflected in v0.9.0-rc2, including updates around migrations, funding persistence, parsing, routing behavior, and channel handling.
We're also continuing review and polish work around trampoline routing, forwarding behavior, amount validation, browser integrations, and developer tooling/docs.
This stage of the release cycle has focused more on improving behavior under failure cases and long-running operation than on introducing major new features.

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.
