Weekly Highlights
1. 18 consensus nodes and 2400 storage nodes registered with 17 TiB verified storage space. Details.
2. Started the preliminary development of CESS v0.6.0. Did research on SGX-based off-chain signature and on-chain verification. Completed codes for the Go-MHT library, and the implementation and testing of the transaction hash search function on-chain. Made preparations for subsequent development.
3. The 4th of the series of five QuizzCESS challenges took place on Instagram. Click here for details.
Project Development Details:
Consensus Miner
Updated v0.6.0 documentation and coded v0.5.4::
Updated the design document of the cess v0.6.0 scheduler, added new functional use cases and schedule storage order design.
Completed the codes for cess v0.5.4 scheduler, and upgraded the related password library.
Storage Miners
Updated CESS v0.6.0 documentation and write v0.5.4 code:
Updated the design document of cess v0.6.0 storage miner, and added new functional use case design.
Completed the codes for cess v0.5.4 storage miner, and upgraded the relevant password library.
DeOSS (Decentralized Object Storage Services)
Improved the document design for file-status real-time tracking, file transfer and other functions.
Proof-of Storage Mechanism
Did research on SGX-based off-chain signature and on-chain verification:
The SGX office has passed the application for the CESS private key, and the Enclave for commercial use is available. Currently researching and developing the method.
Studied the elliptic curve digital signature algorithm, solved the mismatch between the SGX cryptography library and the Substrate signature library, and used it to realize the SGX off-chain signature and on-chain verification mechanism.
Expanded the golang version of MHT (Merkle Hash Tree), see details here.
Other:
Improved the design document of CESS v0.6.0, and added the detailed design of new file upload process state machine, autonomous file and other modules and clients.
Implemented and tested the basic functions such as quick search of transaction hash on the chain, made technical preparations for the development of CESS v0.6.0.
Testnet
Overview:
20 consensus nodes and 2400 storage nodes registered with almost 17 tib effective storage space within 19 days after the v0.5.3 testnet was launched. More details on the blockchain explorer.
If you encounter any issues building a node, please seek assistance on CESS Discord.
Event:
The miner reward event for the CESS testnet continued as storage and consensus miners can earn points by participating. Points can be exchanged for CESS tokens when the mainnet launches. Click here for details.
Community Activities
The fourth of the series of five QuizzCESS challenges took place on Instagram. Chance to win 20 USDT by answering simple questions about CESS. Three winners will be randomly picked after a week when it ends. Click here for details.
