CESS: Innovative Decentralization Storage Infrastructure

With the arrival of the Web3 era, decentralized storage networks have gradually become the focus of attention. Although traditional decentralized storage technologies perform well in file storage, they may face performance and speed bottlenecks in dApps application scenarios, especially during file retrieval. This is mainly because the distributed nature may result in file retrieval speeds that are lower than centralized services.

In response to this challenge, CESS has emerged. As an innovative decentralized storage infrastructure, CESS aims to address the shortcomings of traditional decentralized storage networks in terms of performance and speed.

The Three-Tier Architecture of CESS

CESS is composed of three functional layers:

1. Public Chain Layer: Developed based on Substrate, integrating the EVM Pallet module, supporting seamless operation of Ethereum smart contracts.

2. Storage Layer: A blockchain-based decentralized cloud storage system responsible for storing file content. After files are uploaded, they undergo encryption, sharding, and redundancy processing, and are randomly allocated to storage nodes that meet the requirements.

3. Content Distribution Layer ( DCDN ): Utilizing CDN technology to aggregate and cache data shards from the user's nearest edge nodes, improving access speed and reducing transaction costs.

Decentralization Features

The decentralized characteristics of the CESS network are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1. Decentralized Node Network: Includes consensus nodes, storage nodes, cache nodes, and retrieval nodes, which collectively participate in network operations.

2. Reputation Round-Robin Consensus ( R²S ): An innovative consensus mechanism that verifies node rotation based on node points.

3. Multi-copy recoverable storage proof ( PoDR² ): Ensure the multi-copy storage and recoverability of files.

4. Proof of Idle Space ( PoIS ): By generating a set of idle files and providing proof, validate the available space of storage nodes.

5. Proxy Re-encryption Technology ( PReT ): Allows secure sharing of encrypted data without decryption.

Main Products and Application Scenarios

The CESS ecosystem includes multiple products aimed at different user groups:

1. Deshare: A decentralized file storage and sharing tool for individual users
2. Decloud: Decentralization file sharing platform
3. DeOSS: Enterprise-level Decentralization Storage Solution
4. High-quality NFT Market: Supports large-capacity multimedia NFTs
5. Web3 Application Development Platform: Provides developers with comprehensive Decentralization infrastructure.

Advantages of CESS

Compared to other decentralized storage networks, CESS has the following advantages:

1. High Decentralization: Network task separation, improving overall level of Decentralization.
2. Strengthen security and privacy protection: File pre-encryption and PReT technology assurance.
3. Efficient File Access: The DCDN network provides low-cost and efficient file access.
4. Innovative Consensus Algorithms: R²S, PoDR², and PoIS enhance network stability and efficiency.
5. Cross-chain Compatibility: Supports Substrate and EVM ecosystems
6. Comprehensive Infrastructure: Public Chain + Storage + CDN provides a complete solution for Web3 applications.

CESS is created by a team of experienced entrepreneurs and technical experts, adopting a prudent development strategy. Since its launch in 2019, the project has continuously developed and currently attracts nearly 20,000 accounts and over 7,000 storage miners participating in the mainnet. Although tokens have not yet been issued, the CESS ecosystem has begun to take shape, laying a solid foundation for the vigorous development of future Web3 applications.
