What is CESS?
CESS (Cumulus Encrypted Storage System) is a Layer 1 decentralized storage and content delivery network (CDN) built on the Substrate framework, purpose-designed for Web3 applications. Unlike existing solutions such as Filecoin and Arweave, CESS is optimized for handling high-frequency, dynamic data with enhanced privacy, scalability, and performance.
The protocol combines decentralized cloud storage with robust cryptographic methods to ensure data sovereignty, privacy, and availability. Its innovative Random Rotational Selection (R²S) consensus mechanism promotes both security and decentralization within the network.
Backed by $8M in funding from leading investors including HTX Ventures, DWF Labs, and the Web3 Foundation, CESS is positioning itself as a core infrastructure layer for the emerging Web3 data economy.
