THE GAP
Ecosystem gaps, uncatalogued.
CKB has powerful primitives — the Cell model, Spore/DOB, RGB++, Fiber — but the gaps between them aren't sorted, specced, or claimable.

[dir] DIR · v0.1 · CKB-NATIVE PROJECT DIRECTORY · CC0
Build something CKB-native.
dir is an open registry of CKB-native project ideas. Wish for them. Claim them. Stake on them. Ship them — on-chain.
THE PREMISE
dir turns ecosystem gaps into claimable, fundable, shippable work.
THE IDEA
Every gap, a claimable entry.
Each idea carries a spec, CKB properties, difficulty, and acceptance criteria — the exact bar a build must clear to count as shipped.

CLAIM IT
Commit. Stake. Ship.
Claim an idea publicly on-chain, optionally stake CKB to hold it exclusively, then ship against the criteria to release the bounty.

HOW IT WORKS
Six steps, fully on-chain.
01
Browse
Open the catalog. 30+ ideas, mapped by CKB property.
02
Wish
Signal demand. The loudest ideas surface to the top.
03
Commit
Make it public, on-chain. Optionally stake CKB to claim exclusively.
04
Build
Ship to a deadline. Lapse and the stake routes to the next builder.
05
Ship
A curator confirms acceptance criteria. The bounty releases.
06
Compound
Reputation compounds — across categories, properties, seasons.
WHAT YOU CAN BUILD
A live catalog. Real ideas. Pick one.
Open
Spore/DOB · Good first DOB Credential & Badge Protocol
Verifiable credentials — course completions, event attendance, skill certs, employment history — issued as Spore DOBs organized in Clusters. Fully on-chain and owned by the holder, each credential is backed by locked CKB the holder can reclaim by melting. Zero transfer fees mean credentials move freely between wallets and apps.

Open
OTX & Intent-Based · Good first CKB Action Links (Transaction as URL)
Share a CKB transaction as a clickable URL. One click to tip a creator, mint a DOB, attest a credential, or pay an invoice — the link encodes the transaction intent as a partial OTX, and the user's wallet (JoyID, etc.) previews and completes it. Embeddable anywhere; no dApp navigation needed.

Open
Developer Tooling · Advanced Cell Transaction Visual Debugger & Simulator
An interactive GUI that visualizes Cell consumption/creation flows, script execution traces, and cycle costs. See exactly which Cells are consumed, which are created, what data changes, and why a script fails — graphically, not as raw terminal output.

Open
Developer Tooling · Advanced On-Chain Script Registry & Package Manager
Deploy audited CKB scripts on-chain once, then reference them via Cell Deps with versioning and dependency resolution. A searchable registry of Lock Scripts, Type Scripts, and Spawn-callable modules so developers run `ckb-pkg install multisig-lock` instead of copy-pasting code.

Open
Developer Tooling · Advanced Spawn Composition Library
Pre-built, audited script building blocks using the Spawn syscall and pipes: multisig, time-locks, rate limiting, access control, escrow, oracle reading, token gating. Spawn shipped with Meepo (2025) but has almost no ecosystem libraries on top of it.

Open
Developer Tooling · Advanced Script Fuzzer & Formal Verification Tool
Automated fuzzing and property-based testing built for CKB scripts. Lock scripts are powerful but unforgiving — a bug can permanently freeze assets. This tool generates adversarial transactions and checks for freeze conditions, integer overflow, and replay vulnerabilities before code reaches mainnet.

WHO IT'S FOR
FOR BUILDERS
Skin in the game. Reputation that compounds.
- Public commitments — on-chain, with deadlines you set yourself.
- Stake CKB to claim an idea exclusively. Forfeit if you lapse.
- Ship to acceptance criteria, release the bounty, build a verifiable history.
DIR · FOR BUILDERS · CC0PAGE 01 / 01
FOR FUNDERS
Fund the work the ecosystem actually wants.
- Back ideas with bounties. Acceptance criteria gate the release.
- Lapsed stakes can convert to your bounty pool, routed to the next builder.
- Funds escrowed in Cells — never custodied by the platform.

COMMITMENT · ON-CHAIN
Four tiers. One contract.
WATCHING
Wished for the idea. A free on-chain demand signal — no commitment yet.
COMMITTED
Public on-chain claim with a deadline. No stake — reputation only.
STAKED
CKB locked behind a deadline. Claims the idea exclusively. Slash on lapse.
BACKED
Staked plus a bounty funded. The fully loaded commitment.
FAQ
01What is dir?
An open directory of CKB-native project ideas, with on-chain commitments, stakes, and bounties. Ideas are CC0; the projects built from them belong to their builders.
02Who can submit an idea?
Anyone — open a pull request that adds an ideas/ file. CI validates it against the schema. The idea enters the catalog under CC0.
03What does staking do?
Staking CKB claims an idea exclusively, with a deadline you set. Ship in time and your stake returns. Lapse and — if you chose slash-to-next — it funds the next builder.
04How are ideas marked shipped?
A build is checked against the acceptance criteria attached to the idea and confirmed by a curator multisig. Funds live in user Cells and are never custodied by the platform.
05Is there a fee?
A small protocol fee on bounty funding and payout. See SPEC.md for exact terms. Everything else flows to builders.
06What network does it run on?
CKB testnet first — the escrow lock is audited before it holds real CKB on mainnet.
