➡️Introduction I've been thinking these past few days about how the core products and applications of AI currently focus on areas that users can more intuitively understand, such as AI generation and AI + DeFi. However, there are products that are hidden behind the scenes but are core infrastructure for the AI industry, which C-end users may not deeply feel. This is similar to discovering an indispensable infrastructure product in DeFi, like Chainlink in the oracle space. With a ceiling of 1 billion, there is even a chance to challenge projects that rank in the top 10 by market cap in cryptocurrency, which should be quite appealing. Efficient storage + efficient indexing is currently the most essential and market-demanding scenario in the AI data field. I have looked at all the storage projects on the market and found that the commonly understood storage leaders like Fil have relatively low storage and reading indexing efficiency, which does not align with the current market's direction of significantly improving AI efficiency. I am not sure which storage project has the opportunity to emerge as the "Chainlink" in the AI track, but there are a few storage-type projects that have indeed recognized this issue and are working to solve it, which gives hope to break the deadlock in AI data storage and lead industry progress. Today, I recommend this one @CESS_Storage, which, as the world's first decentralized data infrastructure that integrates L1 public chain, infinite storage, and AI, strongly breaks barriers and redefines the future of Web3 data. CESS is not just a public chain; it is also an "anti-entropy engine" that provides a solid foundation for AI, RWA (real-world assets), and DePIN (decentralized physical infrastructure networks) through a new architecture of decentralized storage, content distribution, and data sovereignty. As a new entry point into the trillion-dollar data economy, CESS positions itself at the high ground of Web3 data infrastructure through technological innovation and ecological cooperation, gearing up to welcome TGE.

🤔 Of course, this narrative is a bit complex and hard for everyone to understand, so let me break it down for you to grasp it better. 🧘 The three main narrative pillars of CESS: 1️⃣ Data Sovereignty Revolution: Empowering users, reshaping value Multi-type Data Rights Confirmation Mechanism (MDRC): By extracting a unique fingerprint of the data and permanently storing it on the chain, it ensures that data ownership is traceable and prevents unauthorized tampering. LBSS Compliance Routing Technology: Achieves location-based storage selection to meet cross-border data sovereignty and regulatory needs, providing compliance assurance for global users. 2️⃣ Storage Efficiency Leap: A new benchmark for Web3 cloud storage CD²N Content Delivery Network: Achieves millisecond-level hot data retrieval, breaking through the performance bottleneck of traditional decentralized storage, providing a Web2-like ultra-fast experience. Intelligent Space Management: Aggregates over 8270 global storage nodes and over 45PB of storage capacity, dynamically allocating resources to ensure high reliability and horizontal scalability. PoDR² Multi-Backup Recovery Mechanism: By regularly challenging storage nodes, it ensures data redundancy and disaster recovery, guaranteeing long-term availability. 3️⃣ Ethical AI New Infrastructure: Bridging privacy and intelligence AI-LINK Technology: Breaks the barriers between private data and AI training through encrypted parameter exchange, allowing sensitive data to be safely used for model training in compliance with GDPR/CCPA standards. Automated Smart Contract Authorization: Simplifies the data authorization process, ensuring compliance and efficiency. ➡️ The core purpose of this narrative is to address the high costs, low security, and compliance challenges of traditional data solutions, which have become bottlenecks in the industry. Issues such as data silos, privacy breaches, and barriers to AI training hinder the soaring of a trillion-dollar data economy.

🤔 Of course, a project can't go far just by storytelling; "painting a pie in the sky" won't make users and the market buy in, which is also the reason I continue to delve deeper and recommend it (more on that later). ➡️ Core reasons for recommendation 1️⃣ The first is that the CESS project has recognized the huge demand for AI data storage and indexing for efficiency and is working on it. Many storage projects in the market are still unaware of this and are just "lying in bed" eating off their old storage. This recommendation stems from my extreme optimism about AI narratives and the project's involvement in the AI sector. 2️⃣ A major event from a few days ago: In a blockchain strategy proposal submitted to the Bahraini government by the international organization GBA, Oracle and CESS Network were listed as candidate partners for the infrastructure layer. (For those unfamiliar with Oracle, let me briefly introduce: the company has a market value of $600 billion, ranking in the top 20 globally, and is number one in several niche markets.) Just this point alone has become a reason I must participate. Just a little joke: after all, it's impossible for me to be on the same level as Jack Ma. 3️⃣ Data proves product strength: 2.5 million users, 1.63TB of stable storage, over 8200 storage nodes, and over 45 PB of storage capacity all reflect the product's popularity and community support. 4️⃣ The product is innovative: the product is fundamental to establishing a foothold in Web3. I've seen too many projects that are fleeting; only by continuously progressing with the market can one maintain a place in it. The innovative products of CESS are the key to success, which I will discuss further.

🤔 Beyond leading in narrative, data, and market aspects, the core product and technological innovation capabilities need to be discussed separately: 👍 Technological Innovation Advantages The CESS network architecture consists of a Layer 1 blockchain public chain, DeOSS object storage layer, CD²N content distribution layer, and privacy security mechanisms. The core technologies include: 1️⃣ PoIS Idle Space Proof: Incentivizes storage nodes to contribute real resources, enhancing network efficiency. 2️⃣ PReT Proxy Re-encryption: Enables secure data sharing while protecting transmission privacy. 3️⃣ R²S Random Rotation Consensus: Low gas fees, high decentralization, improving on-chain transaction processing efficiency. 4️⃣ Data Value Support: Through decentralized storage and distribution networks, data is transformed into programmable and tradable assets, providing value support for scenarios like AI and RWA.

🤝 Industry Support and Ecological Progress As I understand it: The decentralized storage standard IEEE P3220.02 led by CESS has attracted 19 institutions and over 50 experts, becoming the world's first blockchain storage protocol standard, showcasing its industry leadership. Moreover, it has deep collaborations with tech giants and blockchain projects such as AWS, Intel, Tencent, Polkadot, and IoTeX, with its ecological network covering authoritative organizations like Web3 Foundation, IEEE, and GBA. In addition to collaborations, CESS is also actively promoting advancements in storage education and policies: It has been invited twice to the Blockchain Association events on Capitol Hill, discussing how decentralized data empowers AI and RWA with lawmakers. Furthermore, it collaborates with world-class institutions such as Harvard, Yale, and the University of Brasília to launch the CESS Network Course, training Web3 storage engineering talents. At the same time, CESS serves as a vice council member of the Web3.0 Standardization Association, promoting industry standardization.
