What else is known? CESS is a blockchain network and decentralized storage system focused on large-scale commercial applications. It consists of four layers: blockchain, data storage, content distribution, and an application layer for applications. CESS allows files to be stored on multiple nodes and identified by hash and uses various cryptographic protocols to ensure data immutability.
Infinity Ventures Crypto, Mentha Partners, Vespertine Capital, Web3 Foundation, Singchain Investment, 7 O'Clock Capital, SolrDAO, FishDAO, OneBlock+, Winkrypto, and Polkadot Ecology Research Institute also participated in the funding round.
The CESS team claims that its solutions can be used in streaming services, social networks, gaming, metaverses, and decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols, as well as applications focused on non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and tokenized real-world assets (RWAs).
