更名声明

自2021年9月23日起，我们历时4年主导开发的CESS分布式存储项目，正式更名为EDCS分布式存储项目，请相互告知，务必知悉！

我们是一支有梦想、富有创造力的计算机研发团队，区块链的技术特性让我们一直跟进其发展。鉴于全球5G技术的发展势必带来数据体量爆炸式增长，数据存储方式的革新是必然趋势和机遇。于是，2017年10月我们正式立项CESS分布式存储项目，力求通过各项技术的排列组合探索与创新抓住存储领域的机遇。技术研发的过程非常具有不确定性，不断出现问题、解决问题、探索优化路径，历时4年，终于研发出了非常满意的分布式存储产品。

我们潜心研发四年期间，所参与的仅有为数不多的行业研讨会，虽然足够低调，但这一赛道确实乱象丛生，居然出现了很多个CESS分布式存储项目，让用户难辨真伪，甚至交流过的同行都会来求证，我们疑惑、气愤，同时积极寻求正名的方法。

因此，为了让所有用户重新认识我们，真正见证4年的研发成果，不受行业乱象干扰，现决定：自2021年9月23日起，CESS分布式存储项目，正式更名为EDCS分布式存储项目！

EDCS分布式存储项目（原CESS分布式存储项目）是根据全球不同的语言环境和用户基数建设不同社区，目前将全力支持英文和中文两大语言社区的建设，进行分布式存储的落地探索。 

同时，EDCS分布式存储项目主网将于2021年10月进入测试阶段，预计主网将于2021年11月份正式上线，更多资讯请关注EDCS官网资讯栏。

Rename Statement

Starting from September 23rd, 2021, the CESS Distributed Storage Project, which we have been leading and developing for four years, has been officially renamed EDCS Distributed Storage Project. Please inform each other and be sure to know!

We are a creative computer R&D team with dreams, and the technical characteristics of blockchain always make us keep up with its development. In view of the fact that the development of global 5G technology is bound to bring explosive growth of data volume, it must be a trend and opportunity to innovate the way of data storage. So, in October 2017, we formally established the CESS Distributed Storage Project, striving for seize the opportunities in the storage field through the exploration and innovation of various technology’s arrangements and combinations. Although the process of the technology development is so uncertain and there were constant problems along the way, we still devote ourselves to solving problems and exploring optimization paths. Finally, it took four years to develop a very satisfactory distributed storage product.

During four years of research and development, we have only participated in a handful of industry seminars. However, even though we are low-key enough, this track is really messy. It is surprising that many CESS Distributed Storage Projects have emerged, making it difficult for users to distinguish the real from the fake, and even peers who have communicated with us before will come to ask us for proof. We are both puzzled and angry. At the same time, we are actively seeking ways to right our name.

Therefore, in order to reintroduce all users to us and truly witness the results of 4 years of research and development without the interference of industry’s chaos, we have made big decisions: From September 23st, 2021, CESS Distributed Storage Project, officially renamed as EDCS Distributed Storage Project!

EDCS Distributed Storage Project (Formerly CESS Distributed Storage Project) is to build different communities according to different language environments and user bases around the world. It will now fully support the construction of two language communities, English and Chinese, and carry out the landing exploration of distributed storage.

Meanwhile, the main network of EDCS Distributed Storage Project will enter the testing phase in October 2021. The main network is expected to be officially launched in November 2021. For more information, please follow the information section on the EDCS official website.
