CESS: A Comprehensive Decentralization Infrastructure for Web3

With the arrival of the Web3 era, blockchain technology has successfully supported the demand for decentralized data networks. However, merely achieving data decentralization is not enough to fulfill the entire vision of Web3. Against this backdrop, decentralized storage networks have emerged, but they still face challenges in performance and speed, especially when dApps may encounter bottlenecks while reading files. To address these issues, the CESS network has emerged.

The Three-Tier Architecture of CESS

CESS, as a physical infrastructure network, consists of three functional layers:

1. Public Chain Layer: Developed based on Substrate, integrated with EVM Pallet module, supporting Ethereum smart contracts.

2. Storage Layer: Decentralization cloud storage system, encrypts, shards, and processes redundancy for files, randomly allocated to storage nodes.

3. Content Distribution Layer ( DCDN ): By using Decentralization CDN technology, aggregate and cache data shards from the user's nearest edge node to improve access speed and reduce costs.

This three-layer architecture provides a comprehensive physical infrastructure for dApps, supporting not only existing applications in finance, social, gaming, etc., but also more types of Web3 applications such as NFTs, Decentralization streaming and social media.

Decentralization Feature

CESS achieves Decentralization through various mechanisms:

1. Decentralized Node Network: including consensus nodes, storage nodes, caching nodes, and retrieval nodes, which together participate in network operations.

2. Reputation Rotation Consensus ( R²S ): An innovative consensus mechanism that dynamically selects validating nodes based on node points.

3. Multiple Replica Recoverable Storage Proof ( PoDR² ): Ensuring the multi-replica storage and recoverability of data.

4. Proof of Idle Space ( PoIS ): Verify the idle space provided by the storage node.

5. Proxy Re-encryption Technology ( PReT ): Achieving secure data sharing.

CESS Ecosystem Products

1. Deshare: Decentralization file storage and sharing tool.
2. Decloud: Decentralization file sharing platform.
3. DeOSS: Enterprise-level Decentralization Storage Service.
4. High-quality NFT market: supports high-definition images and large-sized audio and video files.

Project Background

CESS is led by an experienced team, including Nicholas with extensive marketing and management experience, Joseph Li with 38 years of IT infrastructure technology experience, and early cryptocurrency investor Jessie Dai. The project has secured $8 million in funding from institutions such as HTX Ventures, Infinity Ventures Crypto, and DWF Labs.

Advantages of CESS

Compared with other decentralized storage networks, CESS has the following characteristics:

1. Highly Decentralized: Network tasks are separated, enhancing the degree of Decentralization.
2. Strengthen security and privacy protection: adopt encryption and PReT technology.
3. Optimize file reading: Improve efficiency and reduce costs through DCDN.
4. Innovative Consensus Algorithms: R²S, PoDR², and PoIS enhance network performance.

In addition, CESS also has the following highlights:

• The team has rich experience and adopts a stable development strategy.
• Developed based on Substrate, compatible with EVM, supporting multiple smart contracts.
• Provide comprehensive Web3 infrastructure, offering a vast space for application development.
• After a long period of development, the ecosystem has taken shape and attracted a large number of participants.

CESS, as a comprehensive decentralized infrastructure network, is expected to provide strong support for the vigorous development of Web3 applications.
