Polkadot Decoded 2023: Cumulus Encrypted Storage System Showcases Future of Decentralized Cloud-Based Encrypted Storage

Cumulus Encrypted Storage System (CESS) presented at the Polkadot Decoded 2023 conference in Copenhagen, Denmark.

John Humphreys, marketing manager, CESS, held a talk in the Showcase Station area on CESS as the first full-stack decentralized storage solution for large-scale enterprise needs, as well as a review and demo of CESS’s proprietary Decentralized Object Storage Service (DeOSS).

Over the past year, Polkadot has rapidly evolved from an advanced and secure tech stack to the largest multichain ecosystem for Web3. Polkadot Decoded, as an event for millions of Polkadot community members WW, is a high-stakes gathering of industry luminaries, projects, investors, partners, and thought leaders.

CESS isa 1st blockchain network that supports large-scale commercial storage. Built as a scalable, user-friendly, and cost-efficient cloud-based solution for the safe, encrypted, and accessible storage of hot, warm, and cold data, it is changing enterprise adoption of decentralized, blockchain-based commercial storage solutions. The platform’s proprietary Decentralized Object Storage Service (DeOSS) service was completed last year, making it the first decentralized storage network to launch decentralized object storage services, and the platform continues to expand offerings and capabilities based on the project roadmap.

John Humphreys, marketing manager, CESS, spoke about CESS at the conference and said: “Polkadot Decoded 2023 has been a great way for CESS to reach developers, projects, visionaries, and ecosystem partners. CESS is an optimized solution for storing and retrieving dynamic and high-frequency Web3 data. Our platform provides the first full-stack solution for all data needs. We also provide effective on-ramps, industry-specific offerings, and other high-performance capabilities via DeOSS that support the growth and expansion of the next generation of Web3 applications. Polkadot Decoded is a valuable opportunity to showcase our technology and solutions to leaders of the web3 movement and the web3 community.”

This year’s conference featured in-person, virtual, and fully hybrid experiences, and featured keynote speakers, presentations, talks on the Polkadot movement, how to achieve the full potential of Web3, and interactive, hands-on sessions for developers and enthusiasts for diving dive deep into the latest blockchain and Web3 technologies. There was also an ecosystem showcase forum where attendees could see project presentations and demos, team meet-and-greets, meeting rooms, networking areas, access to all in-person events via online virtual passes, and even local community-hosted watch parties at select locations around the world.

Polkadot Decoded 2023 was funded by the Polkadot Treasury, and all attendees received a NFT from the new Decoded Hybrid Collection – a series of science fiction artwork, complete with a unique and tangible representation of participation in the Decoded event.

As part of his presentation on DeOSS, Humphreys pointed out the system’s fast, secure, and scalable storage for large files with privacy management, which make it for enterprise-level users with dynamic storage needs, as well as fast data read and write speeds, the ability to share data online, deep support for secondary development, high security and scalability, privacy management via graded permissions, and massive storage capabilities (1,000 buckets/account).

These capabilities work in tandem with other salient features of CESS, such as support for user data monetization, free and fair circulation of benefits to network participants, trustless data privacy and ownership, and speed, performance, scale, flexibility, and cost-savings that are needed for large-scale commercial Web3 applications. CESS is expected to play a central role in the growth of enterprise-grade decentralized storage over the months and years to come.
