Looking back at CESS at ETHDenver: 2024, the year of data value networks

ETHDenver 2024 is one of the largest Web3 BUIDLathon events in the world, attracting blockchain enthusiasts, developers, and builders from all over. As a community-driven innovation festival that brings together technology enthusiasts and innovators from around the globe, ETHDenver continuously promotes the integrated development of blockchain technology, culture, and education. This year's event has gathered tens of thousands of community members to share ideas, drive innovation, and further shape the future of blockchain technology.

During ETHDenver from February 23 to March 3, CESS was honored to be invited as a leading decentralized cloud storage and CDN network to participate in a series of exciting crypto exchange activities. Technical seminars, workshops, keynote speeches, online discussions, exhibition areas… the CESS team was present throughout ETHDenver 2024!
At this grand event of community innovation and technological construction, many attendees emphasized the importance of decentralization and blockchain technology for future technological advancements, and we observed several clear trends:

• Decentralized cloud storage and CDN technology will have widespread applications in reducing cloud storage costs and improving data security;
• As industry leaders like Microsoft, JPMorgan, and Accenture begin to explore the potential of blockchain, collaboration between traditional tech giants and crypto projects may drive these innovations into the mainstream;
• Topics like DePIN and AI sparked heated discussions, and blockchain technology and decentralized concepts will gain more innovation and exploration in real-life applications;
• A series of decentralized solutions will reshape our approaches to data management, security, and computation.
• Currently, with the rapid development of Web3 applications and the urgent need for reform in traditional Web2 infrastructure, there is a strong market demand for Web3 infrastructure.

Based on this, CESS showcased its contributions to advanced decentralized storage and CDN solutions. We also introduced thousands of attendees to the innovations and achievements of the CESS data value network, as well as its significant value and meaning in building Web3 infrastructure, engaging in extensive exchanges and connections with global blockchain community partners. Let’s take a look back at CESS's outstanding performance at ETHDenver 2024!

Offline Connections: CESS Showcases Technological Innovation and Ecological Vitality

R3al World @ETHDenver 2024

On February 28, CESS participated in the R3al World event hosted by IoTex, marking the first offline event co-hosted after CESS announced its partnership with IoTex! The R3al World event focused on the topic of integrating Web3 technology with the real world, specifically through project showcases in areas such as smart devices, urban mapping, and green energy, bringing Web3 into everyday life. This provided CESS with an excellent platform to demonstrate how its technology serves real-world applications.

The event attracted over 1,300 registrants, and the venue was filled with enthusiasm and creativity. The chairman of CESS was invited to deliver a keynote speech titled "2024 --- The Year of the Data Value Network," where we showcased how CESS, as an infrastructure built on the DePIN concept, provides innovative solutions for data storage and management that can support broader commercial and social applications, reflecting the core ideas of data value distribution, return, and interconnection, fully presenting the value and potential of the CESS network in real-world applications.

Polkadot Mini-Summit @EthDenver 2024

During EthDenver 2024, the Polkadot Mini-Summit hosted by Polkadot focused on ecological construction and innovation in areas such as "cross-chain interoperability" and "decentralization."

At this event, CESS concentrated on showcasing how we provide cross-chain data services through technological innovations and practices in decentralized storage and CDN, thereby advancing the construction of the data value network. The speech by CESS chairman Nick further explored how the CESS network promotes the return of data ownership, fair distribution of data value, and seamless connection and interoperability of data in a multi-chain environment.

CESS also exhibited alongside many outstanding projects at the Polkadot Mini-Summit exhibition area. The CESS booth received a warm welcome, where we introduced how the CESS network integrates with the Polkadot ecosystem to provide users with safer and more efficient data storage solutions.

Additionally, the CESS team participated in important events such as DWF Labs Haus --- Builders Connect. Although this event has concluded, CESS's innovative journey will not stop. With the continuous development of blockchain technology, we look forward to achieving more progress in areas such as scalability, privacy protection, and decentralized governance. Technologies like Rollups, zero-knowledge proofs, account abstraction, and privacy solutions will further strengthen Ethereum's core values and promote its widespread application in secure and private online interactions, as well as in fostering more democratic forms of governance.

Online Interaction: CESS Builds Alongside Global Crypto Builders

As spring ushers in a new beginning, the CESS team is not only actively engaging in offline interactions and connections at ETHDenver 2024 in Denver, USA, but also participating in multiple online exchange activities, discussing the construction of the CESS data value network with global crypto partners.

Bitrue Asks｜dePIN AMA

On February 27, CESS Co-founder & COO Jessie was invited to participate in the AMA (Ask Me Anything) event "dePINspired: Ask the Experts" hosted by Bitrue Official.

In this online AMA, we highlighted CESS as a DePIN infrastructure that is one of the key forces driving the mass adoption of Web3. In the development process of the Web3 network, CESS stands at the critical intersection of the physical and digital worlds. By providing decentralized cloud storage and data privacy solutions, CESS empowers innovation in industries such as IoT applications, AI-driven platforms, and data-intensive sectors. Additionally, CESS can provide available DA layer (data availability layer) services to various public chains, maintaining the integrity and availability of network data, thereby providing a secure, private, and scalable framework for various decentralized applications (DApps) and services.

Undoubtedly, the most exciting growth opportunities in the DePIN ecosystem lie in its potential to fundamentally change various fields, including smart cities, IoT, and decentralized finance. By addressing challenges such as scalability, user adoption, security, and regulatory compliance, DePIN projects like CESS can significantly enhance resource efficiency, privacy, and user rights, driving the development of a more sustainable and decentralized data value network.

PukeCastCN Thursday: DEPIN

On February 29, the crypto community PukeCastCN invited CESS to guest on their online live broadcast, where an online discussion centered around the theme of DePIN took place. Undoubtedly, DePIN is one of the hottest tracks this year, and as part of the DePIN ecosystem, CESS provides innovative solutions in the fields of decentralized storage and content delivery networks. CESS enhances data security, availability, and accessibility through unique decentralized storage and decentralized CDN technologies, ensuring user data sovereignty and privacy, and realizing the monetization of user data.

In the future, as more innovative applications are realized, the market enthusiasm for DePIN will transform into long-term and stable development momentum. CESS will continue to actively participate in the construction of the DePIN ecosystem, exploring new possibilities with global partners, continuously driving the development of decentralized storage technology, ensuring that everyone can play a role and gain value in a data-driven future.

Through participation in these activities, the CESS team demonstrated a profound understanding of the DePIN ecosystem, committed to providing users with higher data security, privacy, and availability through innovative decentralized storage solutions, thereby promoting the development and maturity of the entire DePIN ecosystem.
