CESS.NETWORK ($CESS)--The future of data, co-created by us!
What exactly is CESS? Simply put, it is a 'Web3 upgraded version' of data storage. Imagine your photos, videos, or AI training data no longer stored on some big company's servers, but instead distributed across thousands of idle hard drives around the world, automatically managed by blockchain smart contracts. This is the core concept of CESS. It stands for Cumulus Encrypted Storage System, a Layer-1 blockchain designed for decentralized storage. Unlike pure storage projects like Filecoin, CESS is more like a 'full package': it not only stores data but also allows for quick distribution (through the CD²N content distribution network), monetization (turning data into tradable assets), and even supports AI applications. The project started around 2021, with its mainnet launched in 2023, and by November 2025, it has iterated to version 2.0, integrating AI-LINK (AI data linking tool) and DeCloud (decentralized cloud storage). Its native token $CESS is used to pay for storage fees and reward node miners, with a total supply of 1 billion tokens, a high community allocation, and an economic model that emphasizes long-term incentives after optimization. In simple terms, the pain point CESS aims to solve is: in the data age, whoever controls the data controls the future. But now, users are often 'data slaves'; CESS lets you become a 'data master'.
