CESS: Innovative Decentralization Storage Network

With the arrival of the Web3 era, blockchain technology not only supports the demand for decentralized data networks but also gives rise to the development of decentralized storage networks. However, traditional decentralized storage networks face challenges in performance and speed, especially when dApps may encounter bottlenecks while reading files. CESS was born to address these issues.

The Three-Tier Architecture of CESS

CESS, as a physical infrastructure network, consists of three functional layers:

1. Public Chain Layer: Developed based on Substrate, integrating the EVM Pallet module, supporting seamless operation of Ethereum smart contracts.

2. Storage Layer: Decentralization cloud storage system, responsible for storing file content. After encryption, fragmentation, and redundancy processing, files are randomly allocated to storage nodes that meet the requirements.

3. Content Distribution Layer ( DCDN ): Scheduled for release in 2025, aiming to improve user access speed and reduce transaction costs through Decentralization CDN technology.

Decentralization Features

The decentralization of the CESS network is reflected in multiple aspects:

1. Multi-type node network: including consensus nodes, storage nodes, cache nodes, and retrieval nodes, which jointly participate in network operation.

2. Reputation Rotation Consensus (R²S): An innovative consensus mechanism that dynamically selects validating nodes based on node points.

3. Multiple Copy Recoverable Storage Proof (PoDR²): Ensuring multiple copies of files are stored and recoverable.

4. Proof of Idle Space (PoIS): Verifying the idle space provided by storage nodes.

5. Proxy Re-encryption Technology (PReT): Achieving secure data sharing.

CESS Ecosystem Products

1. Deshare: A decentralized file storage and sharing tool for individual users.

2. Decloud: Decentralization file sharing platform.

3. DeOSS: Enterprise-level Decentralization storage service.

4. NFT Market Support: Suitable for issuing, storing, and trading high-quality NFTs.

5. Web3 application support: Providing infrastructure for decentralization streaming, social media, and more.

Project Background

CESS is led by an experienced team, including:

• Nicholas: Harvard MBA, seasoned marketing expert
• Joseph Li: IT Infrastructure Technology Expert
• Jessie Dai: Successful trader and early cryptocurrency investor

By the end of 2023, CESS secured $8 million in funding from well-known institutions including HTX Ventures, Infinity Ventures Crypto, and DWF Labs.

Advantages of CESS

1. Highly Decentralized: Network tasks are separated to improve the overall level of Decentralization.

2. Enhanced security and privacy protection: Utilizing advanced encryption technology.

3. Efficient File Access: DCDN technology provides low-cost and efficient file access.

4. Innovative Consensus Algorithm: Improve Network Stability, Security, and Efficiency.

5. Cross-chain compatibility: Supports Substrate and EVM ecosystems.

6. Comprehensive infrastructure: Providing a broader development space for Web3 applications.

After more than five years of development, the CESS network has established a preliminary ecosystem. Although it has not yet issued tokens, its innovative technology and robust development strategy provide a solid foundation for the future explosion of Web3 applications.
