Centralized data cloud solutions face significant risks and inefficiencies, including centralization, monopolism, and lack of edge optimization.
To tackle these challenges, Cere has launched Dragon1, the first Web3 data cloud cluster powered by a fully decentralized blockchain protocol. Dragon1, now in public beta, offers a more efficient alternative to big tech clouds, providing developers with turn-key tools for unique use cases such as decentralized content streaming and privacy-first consumer data solutions.
Dragon1 represents a major milestone in decentralized data management. While acknowledging pioneering efforts by projects like Filecoin and Arweave, Dragon1 addresses unmet needs within the Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN) ecosystem. Unlike Filecoin’s Saturn, which faces challenges in complex data operations and decentralization, Dragon1 introduces a transformative governance model that allows decentralized data clusters to operate independently from the blockchain protocol.
Key advantages include:
We’ll be going over our Open Governance mechanism and future data cluster roadmap in a future blog.
The exponential demand for cloud data exposes critical limitations in existing centralized cloud infrastructures, including geographical restrictions and escalating costs. This is where our opportunity lies, and where we have positioned ourselves in the past years.
Cere’s Decentralized Data Clusters (DDCs) address these issues with edge-optimized architecture designed for real-time data processing and AI applications.. Key features of Cere’s DDCs include:
Our rigorous testing of Dragon1 has yielded impressive results, even compared with centralized data infrastructures, in terms of latency, load-testing, and more, indicating the ability and strength of our decentralized data clusters. To put this into perspective, Cloudflare’s fastest p95 TimeToFirstByte or TTFB is 332.6ms, Fastly at 357.6ms, Google at 380.3ms, Amazon CloudFront at 404.4ms and Akamai at 441.5msAccording to Cere’s latest round of performance load tests, Dragon1 averages at around 114ms.
Current Web3 tools are often complex to implement in both common applications, making it difficult to onboard developers and their users. In turn, these poor user experiences reduce operational efficiency, create security vulnerabilities, and deter businesses from adopting Web3 technology. At Cere, we strive to offer a sleek and intuitive user experience, mirroring the Web2 developer experience. Our user-friendly developer SDKs make onboarding seamless for any developer, whether you're building a media streaming service, a game, or testing our private-beta AI stack that runs on top of DDC Real Time Experience Builder (RXB) tooling.
It's easy to get lost in the hype that is the convergence of Web3 and AI. However, at Cere, we've maintained a clear vision since our inception in 2019 while being incubated by Binance Labs. Our focus has always been on secure, privacy-preserving data automation, anticipating the future needs of data management in the AI era.
To address the acute secure data computing needs for AI automation, we're not just theorizing – we're taking action. We're already assisting enterprises in setting up their own dedicated data clusters similar to Dragon1. This initiative brings about a complete, secure, end-to-end edge data computing stack, which we'll feature in an upcoming article.
Looking ahead, we're excited to showcase our fully automated data operation solutions for AI. These solutions will be fully integrated on top of secure edge clusters powered by the Cere protocol. This integration is designed to address all major data privacy concerns in the AI era – challenges we've been preparing for since our founding.
Our approach isn't just about joining the AI trend; it's about providing a robust, secure infrastructure that can support the demanding requirements of AI applications while preserving data privacy. With Dragon1 and our upcoming AI-focused solutions, we're positioning Cere at the forefront of secure, decentralized data management for the AI-driven future.
That's it! In less than a minute you've onboarded yourself to Dragon1 and you’re ready to start implementing the Cere SDKs to further propel your application into a future of sophisticated, fast, and secure data management.
Launching Dragon1, powered by our protocol and our native $CERE token, is not just a major milestone in the journey of our project. It’s a monumental moment for the entire Web3 space. Dragon1 represents the first DePIN/Web3 data cloud to not just reach parity with existing big tech infrastructure in terms of performance and usability, but is actually tokenizing real-world data cloud utility into the Cere Protocol, for this utility to further propagate into all of web3.
If you are a developer, this is your invite to start building with Dragon1 Get started with the Cere Dragon 1 Developer Console, or read the developer docs for more info on the different use cases that can be powered by Dragon 1!
