Last week, Andy, the Chinese community manager and technical supporter of Cumulus Encrypted Storage System (CESS), attended an online live event hosted by PolkaWorld. The event focused on discussing the future storage solutions of blockchain, with the theme of "Exploring the future of on-chain storage, a new chapter in Polkadot ecological decentralized storage" . CESS and other infrastructure projects and those with research on storage were invited. industry professionals to discuss and communicate on decentralized storage.
Let's review Andy's wonderful speech on the day of the live broadcast and learn how CESS provides a storage solution that is more suitable for Web3 and promotes the large-scale adoption of Web3.
Track CESS - CESS is committed to providing storage infrastructure for Web3
Andy introduced CESS at the meeting and shared the latest progress and trends of CESS with everyone. As the first blockchain network to truly realize large-scale commercial storage, CESS is also a secure, efficient, open source, and scalable decentralized storage network. CESS provides the best solution for the storage and retrieval of high-frequency dynamic data in Web3. CESS supports the valuing of data within the network and the free circulation/sharing of data value, while using a trustless approach to achieve user data privacy protection and absolute data sovereignty. CESS's first decentralized object storage service (DeOSS) is S3 in the field of decentralized storage.
Technically, CESS is currently in the testnet v0.5.3 stage. Testnet v0.5.3 consists of consensus nodes and storage nodes, and the number of target nodes has exceeded 6,000 . The consensus node maintains the world state of the CESS network (by CESS Node) and is also the "data authentication station" (by TEE Worker) in the CESS network. The storage node is responsible for providing verifiable storage space and is the "data storage pool" in the CESS network. Since the CESS testnet was launched, each version has been practiced, updated and iterated. In addition, we will launch the v0.6.0 testnet soon, so stay tuned for more information!
In terms of products, CESS has built several innovative applications based on Decentralized Object Storage Service (DeOSS). Among them is the online file sharing tool (DeShare) - it is decentralized and supports multiple file formats (pictures, videos, audios and texts) to store and generate links. It does not require registration and login, does not require the use of encrypted wallets and encrypted assets, and supports mobile Advantages and features of end-to-end uploading and downloading and permanent storage. There are also innovative applications such as public chain snapshot storage service and CESS network disk, which also provide Web3 projects and users with a safe and flexible decentralized storage experience.
VIDEOWN, a decentralized streaming media platform incubated by the CESS ecosystem , is a video creation platform dedicated to the Web3 era. It supports the rapid upload, storage, retrieval and download of various types of video content, and supports the casting of content into NFT. The data generated by users and creators will be protected and decentralized.
In terms of community building and market expansion, we can find that CESS has been actively appearing in major industry events and activities. Whether as a builder and contributor, or as a participant, CESS, as a member of the Web3 infrastructure, actively promotes the development of the industry and technology. Only halfway through the year, CESS is already attending and organizing several industry conferences and important events.
In January, CESS went to Chengdu to attend the 2022 Polkadot Winter Hackathon Finals Demoday . While providing Bounty rewards and storage support to the on-site teams, it also received positive feedback from participating projects - many projects used CESS's decentralization Storage builds innovative applications; in the same month, Nicholas Zaldastani, co-founder and chairman of CESS, participated in the Digital Assets at Duke seminar held by Duke University in the United States.
In February, CESS co-founder and COO Jessie participated in a closed-door sharing session at the Malaysian Web3 Club as a guest speaker at the invitation of Dr. Cao, President of the ASEAN Blockchain Industry Association .
In March, the CESS Global Ambassador Program officially opened for applications . 500 candidates from more than 20 countries and regions applied for the program and are participating in ecological construction and contribution to become CESS Ambassadors; in the same month, CESS and Hamster reached a strategic cooperation to jointly build The cornerstone of Web3 development.
In April, CESS sponsored and attended the "2023 Hong Kong Web3 Festival (Hong Kong Web3 Festival 2023)" co-sponsored by Wanxiang Blockchain Laboratory and HashKey Group and hosted by W3ME ; in the same month, CESS cooperated with the famous American school Duke University HackDW3C is held ; "Opening the New Digital Era of Web3" jointly organized by UWEB (University of WEB3) and 7 O'Clock Capital. CESS, as a track for Web3 storage infrastructure, meets and exchanges on-site with outstanding projects from other tracks.... ..
This month, CESS will participate in the Polkadot Decoded conference in Copenhagen and the IVS Crypto 2023 KYOTO conference in Japan . CESS has never stopped exploring, but has truly served as the infrastructure of the storage track, communicating with many front-line practitioners to jointly build a decentralized future.
Challenges faced by CESS decentralized storage track
When mentioning the challenges currently faced by decentralized storage, the guests all mentioned that how to achieve high performance and user experience close to that of centralized storage is a major challenge. Andy explained how CESS responded to and solved this challenge.
Large-scale storage support
When will Web3’s WeChat and Douyin appear? In other words, what kind of storage foundation is needed to build Web3's phenomenal and large-scale applications? CESS uses DeOSS to answer this question: DeOSS is a decentralized object-based mass storage service in the CESS network, aiming to provide users with high-frequency dynamic data storage needs with fast reading and writing, high security, scalability and privacy. Managed decentralized storage service. DeOSS will facilitate the realization of large-scale storage, while providing ultra-high performance on the premise of meeting security, privacy, and decentralization; protecting the availability and integrity of user data, and enabling users to truly control the ownership of their data.
Innovative application scenarios
Andy also proposed that storage, as the cornerstone of Web3, can promote the development of more innovative applications. He once again took the decentralized streaming media platform VIDEOWN as an example - VIDEOWN casts user-created video content into NFTs, supporting sharing and trading. Behind the scenes is actually the embodiment of CESS's storage capabilities. On the basis that the infrastructure fully meets existing needs, we look forward to the emergence of more decentralized applications combined with blockchain technology to meet the needs of mainstream users and cover more usage scenarios. .
CESS drives the future of decentralized storage
At the end of the discussion, Andy said that in the next few years, with the explosive trend of Web3 applications, whether mainstream users enter Web3 or Web2 enterprises transform to Web3, large- scale commercial storage will be an important foundation . The path that CESS is adhering to - providing decentralized solutions for Web3 high-frequency dynamic data storage will also provide a large-scale storage cornerstone for the industry and users, thus promoting the true arrival of a decentralized future.
