A Note from CKB Eco Fund Every journey has its chapters. Since the beginning of CKB’s BTC Layer 2 chapter, CKB Eco Fund has been honored to walk alongside builders, contributors, and community members from across the ecosystem: to support ideas, back initiatives, and help new possibilities take shape. What began as a mission has grown into something much larger: a global community built through countless individual efforts, shared belief, and long-term commitment. As CKB enters its next chapter, so does CKB Eco Fund. With this transition, the responsibilities previously carried by CKB Eco Fund will continue under CKBA’s stewardship, as part of the ecosystem’s ongoing journey forward. While this marks the end of one chapter, it is far from the end of the story. To everyone who built with us, trusted us, believed in this work, and supported us along the way: thank you. It has been a privilege to be part of this journey. And we look forward, with confidence and excitement, to everything that comes next for CKB. — CKB Eco Fund

The refactoring of the underlying framework of the new version of CKB Explorer: from "Ruby" to "Rust Java" After transitioning from the original architecture to the new Rust Java architecture, the system has achieved comprehensive upgrades and transformations in performance, data processing capabilities, user experience, and functional scalability. 🔴 Data Cognition Establishes a dual-mode system of batch processing stream processing to handle data with different attributes separately. 🔵 Architecture Design Adopts a layered architecture of "Frontend - API Layer - Data Layer" combined with incremental view maintenance, enhancing data collection and analysis capabilities. 🟠 Technology Stack Selection Utilizes Rust to ensure high-speed performance of core modules, while leveraging Java to optimize performance and ecosystem compatibility. From a "Single Tool" to an "Ecosystem Data Foundation," the core architecture of the new CKB Explorer is a big data platform, with the Explorer serving merely as an application layer built upon it. Beyond this, it also enables the development of data reports, indexing services, and data API services. 👉 Try it now: explorer.app5.org/ We will continue to optimize and work with the community to build a stronger blockchain future. #CKBExplore #Rust #NervosNetwork #Nervosfoundation
