The Cumulus Encrypted Storage System (CESS) is an ongoing blockchain-based data storage project. The goal of CESS is to provide a new global decentralized cloud data storage network for next generation Web services (aka Web 3.0). With data privacy, data security, and data ownership being the most sought-after concerns with today’s giant data service providers, CESS’s mission is to build a data sharing ecosystem that is secure, transparent, and to protect owner rights.
According to the officially released CESS roadmap and the project progress announced in weekly reports, and in order to secure future CESS mainnet launch, the CESS project is set to start internal mining test jointly with Binance smart testchain in early Sept, 2021.
