Weekly HighlightsOptimized and upgraded the TEE Worker, adding logging monitoring and performance measurement functionalities. Strengthened security protection for shared keys and fixed issues of idle random challenge proofs not being effectively verified.Upgraded the reward and punishment modules in CESS Node for the CESS Storage Nodes. Using more advanced algorithms to allocate more fair mining rewards to each node based on feedback from the testnet.Completed the development and testing of the CESS simplified payment verification (SPV) wallet on the official website, soon to be released. This module will bring more convenience to users for cross-platform transfers and payments, so stay tuned!CESS Co-Founder & Network Security Architect, Joseph participated in MetaBlox AMA Panel — Ecosystem Growth Strategies: Exploring the Indirect Impact of DePIN.CESS Cyber Security Expert, Frank participated in a live session on YouTube to explore the CESS Testnet v0.7.6.Project Development DetailsThe CESS testnet has been updated to v0.7.6 and consists of a consensus node and a storage node. Consensus Node maintains the world state of the CESS 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.Consensus Node [v0.7.7]Updated the nodeadm program and config-gen program, fixing issues with nodes not starting up correctly.Upgraded the TEE Worker key sharing mechanism, strengthening security protection for shared private keys.Implemented logging monitoring and performance measurement functionalities for the Ceseal program.Upgraded the reward and punishment modules in CESS Node to allocate more fair mining rewards to nodes.Fixed the issue where the TEE Worker could not effectively verify idle random challenge proofs.2. Storage Node [v0.7.10]Fixed the issue where storage node idle random challenge proof verification results failed to be submitted.Upgraded the storage node idle data recovery mechanism, using multi-threading to improve recovery efficiency.CESS 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 has significantly contributed to the gradual enrichment and flourishing of the product ecosystem within the CESS network, online file sharing tool (DeShare), and public chain snapshot storage services have been incubated. The developments for this week are as follows: Blockchain Explorer (Substats): Completed testing of basic functions of the new version of the blockchain browser backend. CESS Website (cess.cloud)Completed development and testing of the CESS simplified payment verification (SPV) wallet on the official website.Optimized the official website’s Wiki documentation, fixing some errors based on developer suggestions and improving some expression details.TestnetOverview:39 days after the v0.7.6 testnet was launched. More details on CESS blockchain explorer. If you encounter any issues building a node, please seek assistance on CESS Discord.23 consensus nodes5,198 storage nodes4.56 PiB verified storage space31.06 PiB total storage spaceEvent: The miner reward event for the CESS testnet continued as storage and consensus miners can earn points by participating. The ongoing miner reward event in the CESS testnet incentivizes participation from storage and consensus miners, allowing them to earn points while contributing to the network’s growth and development.Community ActivitiesCESS Co-Founder & Network Security Architect, Joseph participated in the MetaBlox AMA Panel, discussing “Ecosystem Growth Strategies: Exploring the Indirect Impact of DePIN” alongside MetaBlox, ioTeX, and Network3. Dive deep into the future of the DePIN sector.CESS Cyber Security Expert, Frank led an immersive hands-on session during the CESS Mining Workshop v0.7.6. Participated in a live session on YouTube to explore the CESS Testnet v0.7.6 with over 4,200 nodes on the network.Join usCESSwebsite | Twitter | Telegram | Discord | Github | Medium | LinkedIn | Instagram | YouTube
