CKB Weekly #16
We noticed an interesting workshop called Gadgets Workshop from Nervos Foundation’s Q2 quarterly letter. The key mission of the workshop is to explore the potentials of Nervos CKB and show how its flexible and powerful design could be used to add more user scenarios to the blockchain world.
*Sparklings*
Then we found a demo using Nervos CKB as a remote backend for git created by Xuejie, who says this is an attempt at one possible direction of building dapps with CKB:
A single cell on CKB represents a repository (to be more precise, a cell represents a unique branch, it's possible to build a repository that contains multiple cells with multiple branches).
Only the git tip hash is kept in the cell, which means no matter how large the repository grows, the storage requirement on CKB stays constant.
Different information is kept in the transaction witness part. The full history is kept in a chain of transactions used to update the cell representing the repository.
“Personally, I feel like this might be the correct way to use CKB aka Common Knowledge Base, which gets its name for a special purpose: only data that requires global consensus, or common knowledge, should live on chain. The actual data could perfectly be stored elsewhere for maximum efficiency.” - Xuejie
Something to read/watch
Kevin penned a new piece on Defi and how CKB could be a better platform for Defi applications.
The Nervos Foundation shared a blog post detailing the launch of Portal Wallet, which allows users to interact with Nervos through any Web3-enabled browser (using Metamask, imToken, Opera, etc.)
