Cere Network, a leader in Decentralized Data Cloud (DDC) platforms, announced today the launch of Vision 2.0 to update supporters on its mission for truly decentralized Web3. The Vision 2.0 release follows the launch of Cere Network’s new website, which displays an array of exciting technology updates along with partnerships and applications in the pipeline. 

Vision 2.0 provides a critical look at dApps and their data infrastructure. Despite what some may think, most of today’s dApps are not decentralized, particularly their data — which is usually stored on centralized servers. This severely limits the decentralized and serverless potential of dApps and does not resolve the privacy and security issues plaguing the current Web2 centralized apps that host key user identity and data in compromising states.

“DApps and Web3, in general, cannot progress into a truly open and secure future without a truly decentralized data protocol,” said Fred Jin, Founder, and CEO of Cere. “App data continues to be stored on centralized servers. We are looking to change that.”

Cere’s Decentralized Data Network and protocol, along with the Cere Tools & Services Suite, allow any application to efficiently serve and store data on its Decentralized Data Cloud (DDC), individually encrypted and segmented for each consumer. This world-changing data strategy and ethos will enable any consumer to truly own their data and make it interoperable across all apps and cloud data services. DDC is ready to power future use cases such as in medicine, where patients not only can access all of their medical records from their pocket but can also instantly permit any doctor/clinic or predictive analysis machine to access it; or in education, where learners/parents/educators can access all of their key learning paths/insights and facilitate hyper-personalized learning for each learner. Cere has already pioneered a universal wallet to bridge user data assets and access rights between applications.

How DaaS (Decentralized) Data-as-a-Service Takes dApps to the Next Level

Currently, most dApps primarily function as wallets interacting with smart contracts on blockchains, yet still relying on centralized data and infrastructure. Cere DDC provides the first viable alternative to this status quo for the benefit of both consumers and businesses. Cere is already working with partners and developers to read several applications in verticals such as digital media, gaming, and consumer brands.

“Our goal is to facilitate the development of new serverless and trustless applications and the refinement of Web3 applications,” said Jin. “Bringing DaaS to Web2 applications that already have large user bases is key to the mass adoption of decentralized utilities.”

Cere Network is the first Decentralized Data Cloud (DDC) platform that supports plug-and-play integration with any EVM-compatible blockchain, such as Ethereum, Polygon, BSC, Solana, Polkadot, Cosmos, and others. The DDC streamlines storing and serving content and data directly to user wallets and even to the owners of permissioned NFTs. DDC also comes with important tools such as Cere Freeport, which significantly simplifies app development by enabling direct content streaming to NFT owners’ wallets. By introducing decentralized Data-as-a-Service (DaaS), data can be stored and served with higher degrees of decentralization, leading to improved reliability, security, censorship resistance and lower future costs. Applications can also become much more serverless in many use cases that DDC can support, freeing developers from the costs and headaches of infrastructure; in other words, not having to rely on big tech such as Amazon AWS, Apple, Alphabet, Microsoft, and Meta for key content and data services.

Upcoming Use Cases To Be Announced Soon

Many pending integrations with partners in media, gaming, and brands are coming out soon. Here’s a quick preview:

• Content publishers: powering direct content publishing for all media companies and artists via direct streaming of music and video to NFT owners. Cere’s platform allows media content to be minted and issued as collectible NFTs with its white-labeled marketplace and wallet and its SDK with e-commerce integration. This enables platforms and artists alike to engage audiences better and monetize beyond the limits of platforms like YouTube and Patreon.
• Game developers: improve user acquisition and monetization for any game by powering direct browser-based play-to-earn implementations where users can immediately immerse in gameplay without app stores and quickly acquire achievements and assets such as NFTs that can be directly used, upgraded, and purchased in any game that applies Cere gaming SDK, as well as being tradable in secondary marketplaces.
• Consumer brands: Membership and loyalty implementations where NFT-based products and achievements can bring in the next generation of customer engagement and loyalty.

Takeaways:

• Jack Dorsey-funded initiative Bluesky announced their roadmap for decentralized social networks with AT Protocol
• AT Protocol is designed to function independently from a single corporation with user data protection built-in and open-source algorithms
• DeSo, a Coinbase-backed layer-1 blockchain that raised $200 million, also released its roadmap to decentralize social media

The roadmap was unveiled as several billionaires rushed to stake their claim on social media. For example, Kanye just purchased the social media platform Parler, and Elon Musk appears to be closing in on his $44 billion deal to purchase Twitter.

Social media today is close to a zero-sum game where only 3 – 5 corporations control what we see and do online. Platforms are incentivized to protect their billion-dollar ad-revenue stream at all costs resulting in mass censorship and the erosion of freedom of speech.

Another billionaire controlling social media isn’t the answer, and many believe the solution is decentralization. Jack has previously expressed regret over how things played out with Twitter. However, it appears he’s open to working with other platforms to solve the current problems with social media today. In a recent Tweet, he hinted at a potential future integration with the DeSo blockchain.

“Competition in this space is a good thing, not to anyone’s peril (Deso can use this protocol too),” Said Jack in response to questions about decentralizing social media.

DeSo is a new layer-1 blockchain custom-built to scale decentralized social media apps to billions of users. They recently unveiled their own roadmap and are riding a recent wave of success that resulted in a price surge, an influx of new users, and an all-time high of 1.7 million on-chain wallets. 

DeSo believes putting social media on a 100% open-source blockchain will lead to a creator-led and user-owned internet that millions of people can build on top of solving many of the problems that plague social media today.

DeSo founder Nader Al-Naji shares AT Protocol’s vision for a better social media future and expressed interest in working with Jack.

“Agree the decentralization of social is NOT zero-sum. We’d love to discuss how deso can integrate with At Protocol and create a better world together. One where people own their voice the same way they own their Bitcoin. Will reach out!” 

DeSo recently released a groundbreaking MetaMask integration allowing millions of Ethereum users to experience decentralized social media.

A blockchain-based Twitter app also recently launched on DeSo, allowing creators ownership of their content and social graph, similar to how someone can own Bitcoin. DesoDollar, a 1:1 fiat-backed stablecoin disrupting the trillion-dollar VC industry, is also launching this week.

“The beautiful thing about changing the world is that it’s not zero-sum. DeSo can win, and others can win. DeSo will still get plenty of pie, and we can all take pride in making the world a better place.” Said DeSo founder Nader Al-Naji.

About the Deso Foundation 

DeSo is a new layer-1 blockchain built from the ground up to decentralize social media and scale storage-heavy applications to billions of users. It raised $200 million and is backed by Sequoia, Andreessen Horowitz, Coinbase Ventures, Social Capital, Polychain Capital, Winkelvoss Capital, Pantera, and others.

$DESO, the native currency of the DeSo blockchain, is listed on Coinbase.
