🔨Use Cases
DA Service
The DA (Data Availability) Service is a crucial use case of the CESS network, offering a robust solution for ensuring continuous and reliable access to data. Below are some key details of the DA Layer:
Ensuring Data Availability: The DA Service ensures that data is always accessible, even in the event of network disruptions or node failures. By replicating data across multiple nodes, it provides redundancy and fault tolerance, ensuring that data remains available despite potential issues with individual nodes.
Layer 2 Storage for Blockchain Networks: The DA Service can perform as a Layer 2 storage solution for major blockchain networks like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), etc. This use case allows these blockchain networks to offload large datasets to the CESS network, reducing on-chain storage costs and improving transaction speeds while maintaining decentralized and secure storage.
Applications in Various Sectors: The robust and scalable nature of the DA Service makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, including decentralized finance (DeFi), enterprise storage solutions, and large-scale data management systems. These applications benefit from the DA Service's ability to provide reliable and secure data storage without relying on centralized services.
Personal Network Drive
CESS offers distributed network drive to end users, so individuals can securely store personal data such as photos and documents in it. Compared to traditional network drives, CESS has significant advantages on security, ownership protection, cost, and capacity. CESS disks do not require cloud servers, effectively avoiding dependency on centralized servers. Instead, user data are stored in multiple peer-to-peer (p2p) storage nodes.
By adopting blockchain-based cryptographic algorithms to encrypt stored data, CESS ensures the data privacy without the risk of data loss or central server outages.
Decentralized Streaming and Social Media
There is a genuine concern about articles and videos being subjected to censorship by large corporations and governments. By utilizing CESS and incorporating metadata written on blockchains, storing such content on CESS ensures its resistance to censorship, safeguarding both data integrity and freedom of speech.
Distributed Enterprise Storage Service
As a decentralized cloud storage system with a tremendous amount of storage resource pool, CESS meets the demand of enterprise data storage service perfectly. CESS storage network is built on blockchain technology with multiple storage proof mechanisms. This make the system provide a fast and secure storage solution at lower cost compared to centralized storage providers. Enterprises can also utilize CESS for their data archival and backup.
Decentralized Data Marketplace
When users upload data files to CESS, they get to choose its values. CESS generates data file attributes based on these user inputs. The data attributes include pricing model type, access control list, etc. Data attributes are published together with user data. Whenever a data file is retrieved, CESS checks if the accessor has permission to retrieve the file. If yes, the system will issue charge to the buyer based on the data file pricing model, and then start the data download.
On CESS, all data file retrieval records are recorded on blockchain and hence are backward traceable. The CESS data rights protection mechanism maintains a recording module to allow users to view their data file retrieval records, providing strong evidence for user data rights protection.
Enabling Secure and Compliant Global AI Development
Various organizations with private data face challenges in utilizing it for AI development due to sensitivity and legal constraints. The CESS network provides a solution by enabling the secure exchange of encrypted parameters and models through CESS AI-LINK. This allows organizations to collaborate on building a global AI model while ensuring data privacy and compliance with regulations. The use of the CESS network facilitates the creation of industry-wide or global AI frameworks, leveraging diverse data sources without compromising privacy or regulatory requirements.
