# Weekly Report | Oct 23rd — 29th, 2023 By [CESS_Network](https://paragraph.com/@cess-network) · 2023-11-01 --- **Weekly Highlights** ===================== 1. Enhanced the **economic model** with a new treasury token management pallet. 2. Improved **idle space proof** with manual recovery and active state synchronization for stability. 3. Optimized DeOSS’s user file metadata caching and bitswap data transmission. 4. Launching **testnet v0.7.4**. 5. Nominated for Prime Vote to be listed on Huobi. **300,000 USDT prize pool,** [**vote for us**](https://twitter.com/HTX_Global/status/1717553455374717265)!! **Project Development Details:** ================================ _Current testnet:_ [_V0.7.3_](https://github.com/CESSProject/cess/releases/tag/v0.7.3) _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 \[**[**v0.7.3**](https://github.com/CESSProject/cess/releases/tag/v0.7.3)**\]** ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Completed economic model’s code restructuring, added a new pallet dedicated to managing tokens in the treasury. * Developed the treasury transfer and token burning (destruction) functionalities for CESS Nodes. * Successfully tested the consensus node network failure recovery mechanism, with configuration data exported for subsequent recovery tasks. * Optimized the TEE Worker network architecture by using a unified account to determine the TEE Worker’s identity, simplifying management. * Conducted code cleanup for TEE Worker, removing and refactoring less frequently used code modules in preparation for future architectural upgrades. **Storage Miner \[**[**v0.7.1**](https://github.com/CESSProject/cess-bucket/releases/tag/v0.7.1)**\]** ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ * Successfully implemented code for the manual recovery module of the idle space proof, designed to repair unexpectedly damaged idle files and proof files. * Introduced an active state synchronization mechanism during the storage node’s idle space authentication process, preventing inconsistencies caused by network timeouts. * Conducted tests for block proof aggregation and verification in the idle space random challenge process, aiming to reduce the number of interactions during the challenge. _The mission of_ [_CESS_](https://www.cess.cloud/) _is to provide Web3 with practical storage services. The product ecosystem of the current_ [_CESS_](https://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)** ------------------------------------------------ * Improved DeOSS user file metadata caching, enabling users to query and recover this data to the blockchain. * Identified the reasons for data size limitations during data transmission in the bitswap mechanism and updated a portion of the related code configurations. **Testnet** =========== **Overview:** ------------- * **8 consensus** nodes and **1311 storage** nodes registered with almost **4.11 PiB effective storage space** and **1.55 PiB total storage space** within 57 days after the [v0.7.3](https://github.com/CESSProject/cess/releases/tag/v0.7.3) 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](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. [Latest miner reward list](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/136ywcx2PJcJNiyP3qoQ2efcxFcUZfy9u-cGaPVpeL4I/edit#gid=0). **Community Activities** ======================== 1. [CESS](https://cess.cloud/)’s senior community ambassador **participated in an online discussion** on “Who Will Win the L2 Battle?” on Oct 26th. The event was hosted by Base4Manta, alongside BinanceLive, HTX, GateLive, CoinW Live, Twitter, and YouTube. CESS also explored the potential and opportunities of the interconnected data-driven value era during the event. 2. [CESS](https://cess.cloud/) has been honored with a nomination in Huobi Exchange HTX’s 9th Prime Vote to be listed on Huobi. [CESS](https://cess.cloud/) is offering users the opportunity to vote for CESS and claim a portion of the substantial **300,000 USDT prize pool**.

[CESS](https://cess.cloud/) is all set to launch its latest testnet, v0.7.4, scheduled for October 30th at 8:00 AM (UTC 0). This update will introduce iterative enhancements and optimizations across three core modules: Storage Nodes, Consensus Nodes, and Decentralized Object Storage Service (DeOSS). **Incentives —** **storage nodes**: a share of a **600,000** [CESS](https://cess.cloud/) token pool. **Consensus nodes**: each will receive **5,000** [CESS](https://cess.cloud/) tokens. [**Details**.](https://medium.com/@CESS_LAB/cumulus-encrypted-storage-system-cess-testnet-v0-7-4-will-launch-on-oct-30th-6c2db226edcf) ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/1584f957aa689712104f1d979e05d898ecb9e13da41a9a94a9a696542af35e58.jpg) **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/@CESS_LAB) [**LinkedIn**](https://www.linkedin.com/company/cumulus-encrypted-storage-system) **Instagram: cess\_storage** --- *Originally published on [CESS_Network](https://paragraph.com/@cess-network/weekly-report-oct-23rd-29th-2023)*
