CESS: Building Decentralized Storage Infrastructure for the Web3 Era

With the arrival of the Web3 era, blockchain technology not only supports the demand for decentralized data networks but also promotes the development of decentralized storage networks. However, traditional decentralized storage networks still face challenges in performance and speed, especially when dApps may encounter bottlenecks while reading files. To address this issue, CESS was born.

CESS's Three-Layer Architecture

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

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

2. Storage Layer: Decentralization cloud storage system, responsible for storing file content. After encryption, sharding, and redundancy processing, files are randomly allocated to storage nodes.

3. Content Distribution Layer ( DCDN ): By utilizing Decentralization CDN technology, data shards are aggregated and cached from the nearest edge nodes to the user, improving access speed and reducing transaction costs.

Decentralization Feature

The decentralization of the CESS network is reflected in the following aspects:

1. Multi-type node network: including consensus nodes, storage nodes, cache nodes, and retrieval nodes, working together to participate in network operations.

2. Innovative consensus mechanism: Using reputation rotation consensus (R²S), combined with reputation points and random factors to select verification nodes.

3. Multiple copy recoverable storage proof ( PoDR² ): Ensure data redundancy and recoverability.

4. Proof of Idle Space ( PoIS ): Proving the idle space provided by storage nodes through the generation and verification of idle files.

5. Proxy Re-encryption Technology ( PReT ): Achieving secure data sharing without exposing the original data content.

Project Advantages

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

1. Highly Decentralized: Achieving a higher level of Decentralization by separating network tasks.

2. Strengthen security and privacy: Adopt advanced encryption technology and PReT technology.

3. Optimize File Reading: The upcoming DCDN network will provide more efficient and cost-effective file access.

4. Innovative consensus algorithms: R²S, PoDR², and PoIS consensus enhance network stability, security, and efficiency.

5. Cross-chain compatibility: Supports Substrate and EVM ecosystems, friendly to developers and users.

6. Comprehensive infrastructure: Combining public chains, storage, and content distribution to provide a broad development space for Web3 applications.

7. Steady Development: After five years of development, the ecosystem has taken shape, attracting a large number of users and storage miners to participate.

These features of CESS make it an important player in the field of decentralized storage in the Web3 era, providing solid infrastructure support for the upcoming explosion of decentralized applications.
