Since its launch in 2019, the Cere team has consistently anticipated the difficulties that the present systems would encounter, now highlighted by the swift advancements of AI and the accompanying surge in data. With companies using multiple vendors causing data fragmentation that complicates AI integration, Cere is presenting itself as an objective, open-source solution, with a clear vision:

All data should be decentralized. Unequivocally.

To underwrite how we always stayed true to this vision while building out the ecosystem, you can revisit our Vision papers (1.0 - 2020 and 2.0 - 2022)

How to participate in Cere’s Data Infrastructure

Very soon anyone can spin up a storage or dCDN node and become part of the Decentralized Data Cloud in just a few easy steps. By running a node you not only support a bigger and faster network, but you’ll also be rewarded $CERE tokens for the service you provide.

Joining the Decentralized Data Cloud will require only a few clicks:

  1. Choose Your Path: Select "Node Provider".
  2. Node Type: Decide on a Storage or dCDN node.
  3. Deposit: Secure your spot with a deposit.
  4. Configuration: Provide host/port and Cluster ID.
  5. Run Command: Copy and execute the Docker command.
  6. Cluster Addition: Request node inclusion.

Cere vs. Others

Out of the platforms listed, Cere is the most feature-rich, offering capabilities such as multi-cluster topology, default encryption of user data, easy node onboarding, mutable & immutable storage, and an integrated wallet solution.

Additionally, it's fully permissionless and has competitive storage fees. Filecoin, Storj, and Sia all offer decentralized CDN and mutable & immutable storage, with only Sia and Storj being fully permissionless and Sia providing easy node onboarding. Arweave stands out with its integrated wallet solution but lacks in decentralized CDN, mutable storage, and competitive storage fees. Only Cere and Arweave offer an integrated wallet solution.

Exploring the Components of the Decentralized Data Cluster

The Decentralized Data Cloud (DDC) revolutionizes how data is stored and accessed, ensuring security and efficiency. By combining the power of smart contracts and innovations such as Decentralized Data Clusters and the Data Activity Capture system, Cere’s Data Cloud accelerates access through content streaming, enables seamless data sharing, and supports serverless dApp hosting. DDC is a game-changer for secure, efficient data management, powering video streaming, gaming, and more.

Learn how the Decentralized Data Cloud is using:

DDC | Cluster Management

DDC | DAC Core + Validation

The Data Activity Capture (DAC) system ensures activity logs are trustworthy and accurate by constantly comparing and verifying log records. This data is then used by key components in Cere’s DDC infrastructure to ensure fair payouts for node providers, prevent dishonesty, and guarantee fairness for everyone involved.

Web3 | Smart Contracts

Cere Network features a collection of Smart Contracts that empower its ecosystem. Notable among these are the Freeport Smart Contracts, responsible for NFT operations, with two versions: the first version is used by the Marketplace, while the second, boasting improved architecture, is being integrated for future adoption.
