[CESS Course](https://medium.com/@CESS_LAB/building-a-data-value-network-and-engaging-in-the-ecosystem-cess-course-now-open-for-all-79c56631061c) Recruitment Extended! **Project Development Details** =============================== The [CESS](https://www.cess.cloud/) testnet has been updated to [v0.7.5](https://github.com/CESSProject/cess/releases/tag/v0.7.5) and consists of a consensus node and a storage node. **Consensus Node** maintains the world state of the [CESS](https://www.cess.cloud/) network (by CESS Node) and serves as the “data authentication station” (by TEE Worker). **Storage Node** provides verifiable storage space and serves as the “data storage pool” in the CESS network. 1. **Consensus Node \[**[**v0.7.5**](https://github.com/CESSProject/cess/releases/tag/v0.7.5)**\]** * Fixed the issue with nodeadm v1.5.2 not being able to deploy consensus nodes in certain situations. * Resolved the compilation issue after merging the CESS Node and TEE Worker repositories. * Updated the CESS chain’s token from 12 digits to 18 digits for better conversion with Ethereum tokens. * Achieved compatibility of the CESS chain with the MetaMask wallet to enhance user experience. **2\. Storage Node \[**[**v0.7.**](https://github.com/CESSProject/cess-bucket/releases/tag/v0.7.8)**8\]** * Updated the storage node’s gRPC communication module to adapt to the latest version of TEE Worker’s interaction requirements. * Added the functionality for storage nodes to save idle space proof keys, reducing the number of queries to obtain keys on the chain. [_CESS_](https://www.cess.cloud/) _is a blockchain-powered decentralized storage and content delivery network (CDN) infrastructure for Web3. By utilizing a decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) model, CESS drives mass deployment of network nodes globally through incentives. The first of its kind, decentralized object storage services (DeOSS) by_ [_CESS_](https://www.cess.cloud/) _has significantly contributed to the gradual enrichment and flourishing of the product ecosystem within the_ [_CESS_](https://www.cess.cloud/) _network, online file sharing tool (DeShare), and public chain snapshot storage services have been incubated. The developments for this week are as follows:_ **Decentralized Object Storage Service (**[**DeOSS**](https://github.com/CESSProject/DeOSS/releases/tag/v0.3.2)**)** * Added the ability to parse block timestamps in go-sdk. * Enhanced go-sdk’s on-chain event parsing functionality, supporting the parsing of all system transaction events. **Blockchain Explorer (**[**Substats**](https://substats.cess.cloud/)**):** * Completed the design and creation of the new version of substats’ backend database tables. * Completed the development of the new version of the substats’ backend, focusing on parsing block transactions. **Testnet** =========== **Overview:** ============= 59 days after the [v0.7.5](https://github.com/CESSProject/cess/releases/tag/v0.7.5) testnet was launched. More details on [CESS blockchain explorer](https://substats.cess.cloud/). If you encounter any issues building a node, please seek assistance on [CESS Discord](https://discord.gg/cess). * **10** consensus node * **1,233** storage node * **2.25 PiB** verified storage space * **7.90 PiB** total storage space **Event:** The miner reward event for the [CESS](https://cess.cloud/) testnet continued as storage and consensus miners can earn points by participating. Points can be exchanged for [CESS](https://cess.cloud/) tokens when the mainnet launches. **Community Activities** ======================== * CESS has proudly introduced the first batch of ambassadors, congrats to Alexander, Boluwasefe Oyinloye, Dr Kelvin Cho, Antônio Marcelo, Alan Donati, Elkan, and Andy for their remarkable efforts. These ambassadors stand as key figures in championing CESS, fostering community engagement, and propelling the project’s expansion.
