Weekly Highlights
Fixed the issue with CESS Node and storage node mining rewards, ensuring effective querying and claiming, thereby safeguarding basic mining revenue for nodes.
Further optimized the node discovery mechanism in the CESS distributed storage layer’s p2p network, applied to the latest versions of storage nodes and DeOSS, enhancing data query and exchange efficiency between nodes.
Completed the development of a lightweight caching module, capable of independent operation, providing data caching and download services to users.
CESS Co-Founder, Joseph Li, was invited to participate in the AMA “How Privacy and Data Sovereignty Shape AI Development” hosted by Match Chain.
CESS Testnet v0.7.6 Surpasses 10,000 Nodes Milestone!
Project Development Details
The CESS testnet has been updated to v0.7.6 and consists of a consensus node and a storage node. Consensus Node maintains the world state of the CESS network (by CESS Node) and serves as the “data authentication station” (by TEE Worker). Storage Node provides verifiable storage space and serves as the “data storage pool” in the CESS network.
Consensus Node [v0.7.6]
Fixed the issue where the CESS Node reward query function failed to return valid reward amounts.
Streamlined the TEE Worker codebase, removing all deprecated features and data structures.
Fixed the issue where TEE Worker failed to establish effective gRPC connections with storage nodes after restart.
2. Storage Node [v0.7.10]
Fixed data transmission interruptions when storage nodes receive user files.
Fixed the issue where storage nodes were unable to claim mining rewards effectively.
Upgraded the boot node’s p2p module to periodically broadcast the list of discovered storage nodes to the entire network, further enhancing node discovery efficiency.
CESS is a blockchain powered decentralized storage and content delivery network (CDN) infrastructure for Web3. By utilizing a decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) model, CESS drives mass deployment of network nodes globally through incentives. The first of its kind, decentralized object storage services (DeOSS) by CESS has significantly contributed to the gradual enrichment and flourishing of the product ecosystem within the CESS network, online file sharing tool (DeShare), and public chain snapshot storage services have been incubated. The developments for this week are as follows:
Decentralized Object Storage Service (DeOSS)
Optimized DeOSS user file upload logic and improved methods for handling data transmission failures, effectively increasing transmission success rates.
Enhanced the DeOSS node selection module to prevent issues where user data uploads were obstructed due to the majority of storage nodes being blacklisted.
Completed the development of a lightweight DeOSS caching module, which independently provides caching download services to users.
CESS Website (cess.cloud)
Completed the frontend development of the new version of the DAO Cloud Mining activity page, offering more benefits to users who purchase nodes first.
Testnet
Overview:
88 days after the v0.7.6 testnet was launched. More details on CESS blockchain explorer. If you encounter any issues building a node, please seek assistance on CESS Discord.
28 consensus nodes
10,817 storage nodes
18.50 PiB verified storage space
36.00 PiB total storage space
Event:
The miner reward event for the CESS testnet continued as storage and consensus miners can earn points by participating. The ongoing miner reward event in the CESS testnet incentivizes participation from storage and consensus miners, allowing them to earn points while contributing to the network’s growth and development.
Community Activities
CESS Co-Founder, Joseph Li, was invited to participate in the AMA “How Privacy and Data Sovereignty Shape AI Development” hosted by Match Chain. With ClutchPlay AI, the session provided valuable insights into this crucial topic. Joseph shared insights into CESS’s innovative approach to data privacy and sovereignty in AI development, highlighting the importance of these principles in building trust and ensuring user control over their data. The discussion delved into various topics, including the challenges of balancing privacy with AI advancement, the role of decentralized storage in enhancing data security, and the future implications for AI technology.
CESS Testnet v0.7.6 has exceeded 10,000 nodes, marking a significant milestone in the network’s growth and resilience. This milestone underscores the robustness and scalability of the CESS network, positioning it as a leading decentralized cloud storage solution. To celebrate this achievement, the CESS community and dedicated miners participated in a special retweet giveaway, further highlighting the community’s enthusiasm and engagement.
