Cere Network

Cere Network is a provider of decentralized data cloud infrastructure for web3 and AI applications. The platform offers a protocol, token, and tooling stack that powers decentralized data clusters designed for secure storage, streaming, and real-time processing of application data at the edge. Cere enables organizations and developers to build data workflows that separate storage and operations from centralized cloud providers, using node operators to supply resources and smart contracts to govern access, payments, and data integrity. The platform converges web3 and AI by enabling secure, immediate data handling and analysis on edge devices through Edge Clusters and AI Agents, cutting down on central storage needs and complex data pipelines. Cere governance is community-driven through its DAO using OpenGov 1.0, with validators serving as data cluster inspectors. The platform powers applications including CerePlay for web3 gaming with decentralized leaderboards and rewards, and DaVinci for decentralized music streaming and digital collectibles. Founded in 2019 and headquartered in Berlin, Germany, Cere Network has raised approximately 3 million in a Series A round with investors including Arrington XRP Capital, NGC Ventures, Binance Labs, Republic Capital, Polygon, and Fenbushi Capital.
