What is CESS Network and the industry challenges it faces
With the explosive growth of global data volume, data leakage and privacy violations are becoming more and more serious, especially in industries that are highly dependent on digitalization, where data security has become a top priority. Data leakage incidents occur frequently, especially in the United States, against the backdrop of rapid growth in data volume and value. Recently, a data leak in the software of Microsoft and its partners has caused many airlines to suspend flights, further highlighting the urgency of data sovereignty and security. To meet these challenges, CESS Network is committed to providing an efficient, secure, and privacy-protected data management solution through advanced decentralized technology . This innovative network not only leads the application of new technologies within the Web3 community, but also redefines the standards for data processing in a decentralized environment.
Nicholas introduced that CESS Network aims to solve the increasingly urgent data sovereignty, data security and privacy protection issues, and ensure that data is protected from hacker attacks. He also mentioned that the last test network "Venus" , known as the "golden main version" , has been launched and is scheduled to be officially launched on the main network this year . He also said that CESS Network not only introduced new technologies to the Web3 community, but also redefined standards in a decentralized environment, surpassing the influence of DePIN. At the same time, through the tokenized pricing model, it innovated the procurement method of data systems, handed over pricing power to the market, and gave buyers more choices.
In an environment where data storage and transmission are becoming increasingly complex, decentralized solutions face a series of challenges, such as data fragility, slow retrieval, inefficient resource utilization, and limitations in commercial applications. Alex Liu explained how CESS Network has successfully overcome these problems through a series of innovative technologies, such as encrypted sharded storage, decentralized content delivery network, smart space management, and P2P CD²Nv .

Innovative architecture design and decentralized solutions
With the development of blockchain, many public chains adopt multi-layer modular design, such as Ethereum's consensus layer and execution layer, Polkadot's relay chain and parachain. The main reason for this is the speed limitation of blockchain: putting key information on the chain and processing the rest of the information off-chain can greatly improve efficiency. For storage public chains, multi-layer architecture is particularly critical because it needs to deal with more efficient data storage, redundancy and encryption requirements, and the data complexity is far beyond that of general smart contracts. However, building such a multi-layer decentralized network is not easy.
Multi-layer network architecture design
Alex Liu pointed out that CESS Network has built an efficient decentralized data storage and delivery architecture through four key layers:
Blockchain layer: provides data storage, ownership management, and smart contract services to ensure data security and network incentives.
Distributed storage resource layer : Integrates consensus nodes and storage nodes, is responsible for metadata storage, transaction processing, and user data storage, and optimizes resource utilization.
Content delivery network layer: Through decentralized CD²N and P2P technology, cache and retrieval nodes are used to achieve fast data transmission and reduce costs.
Interface layer: Provides CLI, API, SDK, and CESS AI protocol suite to support user interaction and data privacy protection in AI training.
It also stated that the architecture ensures decentralized storage, fast content delivery, and AI training capabilities under privacy protection.
Reshaping high-frequency dynamic data storage, CESS Network’s decentralization
Based on the multi-layer network architecture design of CESS Network, it provides an efficient solution for high-frequency dynamic data storage. Nicholas said that the CESS network has redefined the storage and retrieval of high-frequency dynamic data through a blockchain system that processes more than 10,000 transactions per second, supports streaming video, audio and other data, and ensures speed, security and data sovereignty. Its decentralized content distribution network enhances the value of the system, making it suitable for a variety of application scenarios such as Twitter, TikTok, Netflix, and business solutions such as customer service, HR and finance.

Upload and download files: DeOSS distributes files to storage nodes, and users view file status and perform operations through API or Explorer.
He said the whole process requires a CESS Network wallet account and a DeOSS gateway address, supports functions such as uploading, downloading, and deleting files, and is easy to operate.
Data privacy leads to a new era of decentralized storage and builds a secure Layer 1 infrastructure
After an in-depth analysis of the CESS Network architecture, data privacy was identified as the core issue of decentralized storage. In the Layer 1 infrastructure, data privacy not only protects users' data sovereignty, but also provides developers with a secure and efficient foundation for building applications. Based on the principle of data protection (DP), Layer 1 promotes the development of the ecosystem through strict data control, allowing users to fully control data access rights. Decentralized Internet of Things (DePIN) further enhances the security of the system and brings more innovation opportunities, allowing users to securely store and manage data, while developers can use this architecture to promote the advancement of Web3 and IoT applications.
