1. TEE Worker codebase was refactored and optimized, improving the key sharing code logic and fixing various bugs and warnings, enhancing the program’s security and stability.

2. A new feature was added to the lightweight CESS client nodes to support directory file packaging and retrieval, reducing extra data padding when users upload small files and improving space usage efficiency.

3. The new version of the blockchain browser now includes graphical displays for account information, transaction data, node status, and node numbers, making it easier for users to manage their accounts, assets, and nodes.

4. CESS had an incredible time at the PizzaDAO event in Washington, DC.

5. CESS Global Ambassador Program is ongoing. Over 620 people have already applied.

The 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.

1. Consensus Node [v0.7.6]

• Optimized TEE Worker key sharing code logic to enhance security.

• Fixed hidden bugs and warnings in the TEE Worker codebase, improving overall program stability.

• Refactored the TEE Worker codebase, reorganizing the key exchange module for better code structure and readability.

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:

Decentralized Object Storage Service (DeOSS)

• Upgraded lightweight cache nodes to support more diverse data download functionalities.

• Added directory upload functionality to the lightweight CESS client, allowing users to package and upload entire directories to reduce space wastage.

• Introduced sub-file retrieval functionality for the lightweight CESS client, enabling users to retrieve specific sub-files within compressed directories.

• Completed development of bucket management and space management modules for the lightweight CESS client.

Blockchain Explorer (Substats):

• Added graphical display functions for account information and transferred data to the new version of the blockchain browser.

• Implemented query and display functions for the status and number of various CESS node types in the new blockchain browser.

CESS Website (cess.cloud)

• Completed data migration and backup for the DAO cloud mining activity and genesis node activity backend, ensuring user data is not lost.

116 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.

• 29 consensus nodes

• 10,045 storage nodes

• 21.10 PiB verified storage space

• 31.80 PiB total storage space

Event:

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.

• CESS had an incredible time at the PizzaDAO event in Washington, DC. The team enjoyed meeting new crypto enthusiasts, connecting with blockchain visionaries, and engaging in insightful discussions about the future of decentralized technology. It was a fantastic opportunity to share our vision and learn from the innovative ideas of others in the community.
