CESS is a blockchain powered decentralized storage and CD²N (content decentralized delivery network) infrastructure for Web3. Users and creators alike use the platform for on-chain data sharing, whilst builders can develop and deploy DApps.

Offering the most optimal Web3 solution for storing and retrieving high-frequency dynamic data, CESS reshapes the value distribution and circulation of data assets whilst ensuring data sovereignty and user privacy. By utilizing a decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) model, CESS drives mass deployment of network nodes globally through incentives.

CESS network consists of four layers: Blockchain Layer, Distributed Storage Resource Layer, Distributed Content Delivery Layer, and Application Layer. CESS’s R²S consensus mechanism coordinates the network resources and network load, guarantees data security and integrity through proprietary technologies with data ownership protection, technologies such as Proof of Data Reduplication and Recovery (PoDR²), Multi-format Data Rights Confirmation (MDRC), and decentralized proxy re-encryption. CESS aims to be the first decentralized storage network that supports large-scale commercial applications.

CESS is also compatible with EVM and WASM, and the underlying development framework Substrate is also friendly to cross-chain applications. Its technology stack can support most Web3 applications and the development needs of enterprise-level applications.

Current testnet: Venus (v0.7.8) consists of consensus and storage nodes. Consensus nodes maintain the world state of the CESS network (by CESS Node) and serve as the “data authentication station” (by TEE Worker). Storage nodes provide verifiable storage space and serve as the “data storage pool” in the CESS network.

Consensus Nodes [ Venus (v0.7.8) ]

• Fixed the loss of the evm-account-mapping pallet in the upgraded CESS testnet version.

• Addressed the issue preventing CESS blocks from being properly produced due to malfunctioning CESS Nodes.

• Upgraded nodeadm programs and related configuration files.

• Deployed 10 new CESS Nodes to ensure the stability of the testnet.

• Fixed a naming conflict in the CESS Node territory module caused by the lack of uniqueness checks during renaming.

• Reduced CESS Node transaction gas fees to prevent significant account balance depletion from frequent transaction submissions.

• Added a feature to reduce space declarations, preventing storage nodes from being frozen due to declaring excessive space.

• Completed an online upgrade of the consensus nodes, increasing the frequency of random challenges for storage nodes.

• Optimized the TEE Node management module for consensus nodes to ensure expired TEE Nodes are promptly removed.

• Adjusted the reward calculation ratio for random challenges, setting the reward ratios for idle and service computing power to 5% and 95%, respectively.

Storage Nodes [v0.7.13]

• Completed testing of file upload and download functionality for storage nodes based on the territory module in the new version.

• Fixed issues with configuring a designated TEE Node in the mineradm multi-node operation program.

• Resolved issues preventing storage nodes from starting properly due to SDK version mismatches with the CESS chain.

• Fixed issues preventing Docker images from being properly packaged.

• Corrected an issue where failing to convert token units prevented the effective increase of staking.

• Fixed problems increasing storage space when the staking account differed from the signing account.

• Upgraded the P2P file transfer mechanism to provide more efficient data transfer services.

• Resolved issues where staking increases failed due to mismatches between signing and staking accounts.

• Addressed probabilistic failures in generating idle random challenge proofs when storage nodes were in certain states.

• Fixed issues preventing storage nodes from prioritizing custom TEE Nodes for idle authentication acceleration.

• Resolved issues causing significantly increased transaction fees due to repeated submission of failed transactions by storage nodes.

TEE Nodes [ Venus (v0.7.8) ]

• Added security level checks and update functions to prevent potential key leakage.

• Fixed issues preventing proper block validity verification.

• Addressed issues where the codebase was not updated, causing signature failures in effective parsing and validation.

• Fixed issues preventing the rapid synchronization of blockchain states.

• Added distributed deployment for DCAP remote attestation servers.

CESS is a blockchain powered decentralized storage and CD²N (content decentralized delivery network) infrastructure for Web3. By utilizing a DePIN (decentralized physical infrastructure network) model, CESS drives mass deployment of network nodes globally through incentives. The first of its kind, DeOSS (decentralized object storage services) by CESS has significantly contributed to the gradual enrichment and flourishing of the product ecosystem within the CESS network, DeShare (online file sharing tool), and public chain snapshot storage services have been incubated. The developments for this month are as follows:

• Completed the deployment of the new official DeOSS node cluster.

• Added data fencing features to meet users’ special requirements regarding the geographical location of data storage.

• Completed the documentation introducing the CD²N working principles and incentive mechanisms.

• Fixed issues preventing the proper upload of user files due to network connection anomalies.

• Resolved issues preventing user file fragments from being correctly downloaded from remote storage nodes.

• Fixed issues preventing lightweight caching nodes from interacting with work protocol smart contracts.

• Addressed issues preventing proper file uploads due to incorrect node selection module usage in DeOSS.

• Updated the DeOSS documentation to accommodate the latest features after version updates.

• Completed the Rust SDK upgrade and documentation writing.

• Fixed issues preventing user videos from being properly played due to inconsistent return status codes.

• Addressed issues causing high failure rates in uploading user file fragments to storage nodes.

• Completed architectural upgrades for CESS CD²N caching nodes, equipping them with basic parallel computing capabilities.

• Completed testing and fixes for the static resource distribution function of CESS CD²N caching nodes.

• Fixed issues preventing the transfer of files larger than 100MB.

• Created a DeShare cluster for storing node Docker images to resolve issues with downloading images.

• Completed the new version launch and migrated old version user files to the new testnet.

• Fixed issues preventing DeShare from properly downloading user-uploaded files.

• Completed UI optimizations for the introduction of CESS network modules on the homepage.

• Completed the new website, user documentation, and token collection service.

• Enhanced the display details on website pages and updated reference links.
