Breaking News! Gavin Wood announces Polkadot enters the 'Second Era'!
This article is a summary of Dr. Gavin Wood's significant speech that just concluded at the Sub0 conference! Hello everyone, friends in Buenos Aires! Greetings from Hitchin, UK (to be precise, the suburbs of Hitchin). I am very happy to connect with everyone through modern technology, so let's officially get started. Just a month ago, Parity celebrated its tenth anniversary. This is indeed remarkable — we have been on this path for over ten years: Polkadot, Sub0… although Sub0 is still a bit younger, it is about to enter its seventh year.
The origin of Sub0 is actually quite simple. The first Sub0 event was almost like the first DevCon: we held it directly in our office. At that time, Parity had just opened its Berlin office, and we invited about a hundred early Polkadot developers to discuss the technology surrounding Substrate. The name 'Sub0' has been carried on from that time.
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'.

$CESS Very few people currently understand the power of this storage infrastructure technology. After officially going live, it will become expensive. Now everyone can try storing some videos and photos and other types of files. #隐私币生态普涨 #存储板块暴涨
Binance CEO Richard Teng: Cryptocurrency has now become mainstream. The opportunity in the primary market. Understanding the core values is the key to success.
$CESS On-chain holders are impressive, but the number of transactions is too low. This indicates that everyone is hoarding. Hoarders, wait for the explosion! Look at the years, not the months.
$SOL 1. National Interaction Level: The rules of economic and trade exchanges between countries are not subject to the constraints and sanctions of other countries' economic and trade policies. In the future, cryptocurrencies will inevitably play a crucial role. Each country will gradually formulate and improve reasonable regulations that are conducive to the development of cryptocurrencies. This is an inevitable trend driven by development. 2. Public Demand Level: To maintain the value of their assets and avoid the effects of continuous money printing. People will gradually engage in financial management through cryptocurrencies and various digital assets. This is also an inevitable trend of social development. The trend is unstoppable.
$CESS cess has done things that fil cannot do, and has also done things that it can do. fil is the glorious pioneer on the path of early exploration. cess is bound to be the great success in this track. The future is promising.
We have noticed that some external projects are using the CESS brand and logo in their own materials. We would like to provide some gentle clarification:
The CESS Network is an open-source Layer-1 data infrastructure. We welcome developers, communities, and organizations to freely build on our network.
At the same time, the CESS Network does not participate in the operation, fundraising, or financial activities of tokens created outside of external groups or projects.
This means that any token issuance, fundraising, or financial risks related to these activities are completely independent of CESS and are borne by the respective projects and participants.
Our mission has always been to build a safe, open-source, fair, and decentralized data infrastructure for the CESS ecosystem and other fields.

$CESS is currently not officially launched, the trading volume is still relatively low, and it is greatly affected by the single transaction volume. At the same time, the number of people holding the currency is also relatively low, so the significance of this price fluctuation is limited. Believe in the long-term future! Focus on technology and application implementation!
Do you know what #CESS cess is? All web3 projects need this distributed storage network. It has actually been presented in the US House of Representatives and the Senate. Go check the information, what era are we in, and you're still playing speculation and value investing, understood? If cess doesn't rise to 10 dollars, I'll eat it upside down.
Cess coin is gaining attention in the crypto community due to its strong project fundamentals and decentralized storage vision. If the current momentum continues, analysts believe CESS could see a steady rise in the coming weeks. Short-term targets suggest a potential move towards $0.12 – $0.18, while a strong bullish run might push it even higher. Long-term believers are eyeing the $0.50+ zone if adoption and partnerships keep growing. 📈🔥 #CESS_NETWORK
