# Weekly Report | Nov 13th — 19th, 2023 By [CESS_Network](https://paragraph.com/@cess-network) · 2023-11-24 --- **Weekly Highlights** 1. Successfully integrated and tested the multi-signature feature, **elevating the security of user accounts and data management.** 2. **Improved the storage node workflow** to maintain user file downloads and facilitate data backup among nodes, reducing the likelihood of inadvertent data loss upon disconnection due to challenge failures. 3. Presented CESS’s **practical applications of ERC-3525** at an event in Singapore. 4. Conducted a **workshop** in preparation for the upcoming **Winter Polkadot Hackathon.** **Project Development Details:** _Current testnet:_ [_v0.7.4_](https://github.com/CESSProject/cess/releases/tag/v0.7.4) _consists of consensus and storage nodes._ **_​​Consensus nodes_** _maintain the world state of the_ [_CESS_](http://www.cess.cloud/) _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 Miner \[**[**v0.7.4**](https://github.com/CESSProject/cess/releases/tag/v0.7.4)**\]** * Completed integration and testing of the CESS Node’s multi-signature functionality. * Upgraded the functionality for user-proxy purchases of storage space, allowing users to customize order expiration times. * Added validation features to various service interfaces for TEE Worker to intercept invalid requests. * Optimized the TEE Worker’s log module for clearer and more concise logs, including the display of service execution times. **Storage Miner \[**[**v0.7.5**](https://github.com/CESSProject/cess-bucket/releases/tag/v0.7.5)**\]** * Fixed data type conflicts in the protobuf section of the libp2p library. * Upgraded storage node workflows to ensure file download services remain available even when nodes are offline. * Updated gRPC methods in the p2p-go library for communication with TEE Worker, resolving network connection failures. * Resolved issues with the recovery module for storage node idle space proofs failing to read data. * Fixed address resolution failures occurring when storage nodes request idle space proof keys from TEE Worker. _The mission of_ [_CESS_](http://www.cess.cloud/) _is to provide Web3 with practical storage services. The product ecosystem of the current_ [_CESS_](http://www.cess.cloud/) _network is becoming more robust and prosperous. Innovative applications such as decentralized object storage service (DeOSS), online file sharing tool (DeShare), and public chain snapshot storage service have been incubated. Users can experience these functions._ **Decentralized Object Storage Service (**[**DeOSS**](https://github.com/CESSProject/DeOSS/releases/tag/v0.3.2)**)** * Fixed the issue of signature verification failure when uploading files using the js-sdk. * Resolved compatibility issues between ShareSwap and the p2p-go library. **Testnet** **Overview:** * 9 consensus nodes and 631 storage nodes registered with almost 873.15 TiB effective storage space and 7.41 PiB total storage space within 20 days after the [v0.7.4](https://github.com/CESSProject/cess/releases/tag/v0.7.4) testnet was launched. More details on the [blockchain explorer](https://substats.cess.cloud/). If you encounter any issues building a node, please seek assistance on [CESS Discord](https://discord.gg/UDZaBaDhcv). **Event:** The miner reward event for the [CESS](http://www.cess.cloud/) testnet continued as storage and consensus miners can earn points by participating. Points can be exchanged for [CESS](http://www.cess.cloud/) tokens when the mainnet launches. **Community Activities** * [CESS](http://www.cess.cloud/) Co-founder & COO, Jessie Dai, took part in an insightful event held in Singapore on November 15th. The session, hosted by Solv Protocol, centered around exploring ERC-3525. The event included an engaging panel discussion delving into the practical applications of ERC-3525, featuring perspectives from Ketchup Republic and zCloak Network. ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/d9af42c8d4d18c1c5eb451f02c37858535ddd67fc22bb989d004240c00be3363.webp) ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/24893d967348e14dcf1197e9b9d9606204329b6537cb5fdc66208c192fa2988e.webp) * [CESS](https://cess.cloud/) Chairman & Co-Founder, Nick Zaldastani, took part in BNB Eco-Talk 4 hosted by BNBknightS on November 16th. During the event, Nick shared updates on recent CESS developments, including discussions about DePIN and other pertinent topics. [Event recording](https://twitter.com/BNBknightS/status/1725114340842643839). * [CESS](https://cess.cloud/) Developer Community Lead, Alex Liu, spoke at the 2023 Winter Polkadot Hackathon Workshop and Office Hour on November 18th. This event, hosted by OneBlock and Polkadot, centered around discussions on the DeOSS Gateway API. ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/c55791563f12c2f7ce4acd1b19d381d6599efb06d38565385860d9ea65edcf33.webp) * [CESS](https://cess.cloud/) is excited to sponsor the 2023 Winter Polkadot Hackathon, offering a prize pool of $2000 for projects utilizing CESS storage! Engage in the vibrant Polkadot ecosystem, team up with developers worldwide, and bring your visions to life. ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/b9f7f54bf4378507bc07bfdecabb39f0c51b44f91298ac1bfc16d53553480d05.webp) **Join us** [**CESS website**](https://www.cess.cloud/) **|** [**Twitter**](https://twitter.com/CESS_Storage) **|** [**Telegram**](https://t.me/CESS_Storage_official) **|** [**Discord**](https://discord.gg/UDZaBaDhcv) **|** [**Github**](https://github.com/CESSProject) **|** [**Medium**](https://medium.com%2F@medium.com/@CESS_LAB) **|** [**LinkedIn**](https://www.linkedin.com/company/cumulus-encrypted-storage-system) **|** [**Instagram**](https://www.instagram.com/cess_storage/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igshid=OGQ5ZDc2ODk2ZA%3D%3D) --- *Originally published on [CESS_Network](https://paragraph.com/@cess-network/weekly-report-nov-13th-19th-2023)*
