CESS has been envisioned since 2019, with the team firmly committed to the direction of decentralized storage. From the champion of the Polkadot hackathon to sponsors, their active presence has spread globally from East Asia to Latin America, attracting increasing attention and recognition over the past three years. As CESS enters 2023, it is about to welcome the highly anticipated mainnet launch. Looking back at the past three years of CESS's journey in decentralized storage, significant progress has been made in technology, ecology, and community. This article will summarize the major technological and ecological advancements of CESS over the past three years, allowing friends and partners interested in CESS to revisit its highlights. If you are new to CESS and want to learn more about it, this article also provides a comprehensive introduction to CESS.

Who is CESS? CESS is a decentralized cloud storage network for online data storage and real-time sharing, dedicated to providing a better decentralized full-stack solution for high-frequency dynamic data storage in Web3. CESS's powerful performance and highly flexible cloud storage support the monetization of user data and the free flow (sharing) of data value, while achieving data privacy protection in a trustless manner, returning data sovereignty to users. Through innovative decentralized cloud storage technologies, it makes the Web3 principle of "data-centricity, valuing data monetization and privacy protection" possible.

Detailed Explanation of CESS Mechanism

CESS's multi-layer network architecture consists of four layers: blockchain layer, storage resource layer, content distribution layer, and application support layer. The blockchain layer handles all transactions and contracts within the blockchain network. In CESS, this layer includes functions such as consensus algorithms, storage proofs, encryption systems, payments, and incentives. The design approach of CESS in the consensus mechanism and blockchain layer is to ensure fairness and efficiency in consensus achievement through a randomly selected rotating consensus node mechanism (R²S).

In the content distribution layer and storage resource layer, CESS protects data privacy and security through a multi-replica recoverable storage proof (PoDR²) mechanism and has designed disaster recovery measures; at the same time, by "pooling" storage resources, it maximizes the utilization of storage resources and solves the ability to truly call "restricted resources."

As the first decentralized cloud storage network in the industry that supports large-scale commercial applications from its native design, CESS provides sufficient performance and preparation for applications at the storage level, while also offering technical support for development teams, featuring developer-friendly characteristics. At the smart contract level, CESS is compatible with WASM/EVM; at the development tools level, CESS will provide modular development tools and API services for application developers, facilitating the use of network data storage, distribution, smart contracts, privacy protection, and data rights confirmation for application development. In addition to open Web3 applications, CESS also supports enterprise-level SDKs, providing decentralized storage services for enterprise applications.

Incentive Program

The CESS testnet officially began testing in 2022, opening three testing components: storage nodes (CESS-Bucket), consensus nodes (CESS-Consensus Node), and decentralized object storage (CESS-DeOSS). CESS has prepared numerous benefits and nearly ten million mainnet tokens as incentives for all users who actively participate in testing and construction.

Participants who establish storage nodes can earn rewards by providing storage space; participants who establish consensus nodes can earn rewards by providing computing resources and bandwidth; users can quickly experience the entire process of Web3 decentralized storage through DeShare; they can also purchase space through DeOSS to perform a series of operations such as uploading, downloading, and deleting files, all of which have high security and privacy.

In 2023, CESS is preparing more community incentive programs to show the greatest recognition and rewards to users who contribute to community participation.

Highlights of CESS Activities

Starting from the Polkadot hackathon, the CESS Lab team participated with FMD-CESS as their entry. FMD-CESS is a data trading platform based on the decentralized cloud storage network CESS. Subsequently, the smooth deployment and construction of the CESS network not only allowed FMD-CESS to easily meet all data storage needs but also made us see a future where more cross-ecosystem and diverse dapps' storage needs are met.

To showcase CESS's innovations and persistence in decentralized storage technology to the industry, developers, and users, CESS launched the "Pioneer Program," actively participating in various online and offline industry events and achieving more collaborations. In September 2022, CESS was invited to attend the TOKEN2049 conference in Singapore, demonstrating CESS's empowerment of the Polkadot ecosystem and the entire Web3 field; in the same month, CESS went to Brazil to participate in a series of events centered around the Blockchain Rio Festival; in July 2022, CESS Chairman Nicholas Zaldastani was invited to attend Japan's largest crypto industry conference IVS Crypto, discussing Web3 infrastructure with many renowned projects; and CESS also hosted the "obCESSed in Vietnam" event, inviting numerous Polkadot ecosystem projects to participate…

CESS's footprint spans the globe and the entire industry, truly serving as the infrastructure of the storage track, understanding the real needs of the industry, and advancing in the construction of decentralized storage.
