Data Lifecycle
User data uploaded to the CESS network undergo the following lifecycle. We will cover them in-depth here.
Data Upload: Through CESS clients or gateways, users upload data to the rented storage space. CESS uses erasure codes to store the data on multiple storage nodes with 1.5 times redundancy.
Data Download: Data on CESS is available for download. The file meta information is saved on-chain. Users can use a client or gateway to retrieve the data locally.
Data Deletion: CESS node deletes the data upon their owner requests and intelligently handles replacing active data back with idle data.
Data Restore: CESS ensures the integrity of user data through a storage challenge mechanism. When a data block is found to be lost, CESS immediately repairs the data block.
Data Audit: CESS has developed a series of audit algorithms and reward mechanisms to ensure the data stored in the storage nodes is honestly and objectively served.
