Common questions

What is Chester?
Chester is an AI data center campus tracked on the DEPLOY registry, located in Rochester, Minnesota, USA. DEPLOY records its capacity as a dated, sourced ledger: announced gigawatts versus actually energized gigawatts, never a press-release total.
Who is building Chester?
CoreWeave is recorded as a party to Chester on the DEPLOY registry. The full party list, with each role, is on the record.
Is Chester operating yet?
As of the most recent verification on the DEPLOY registry, Chester is energized and operating. DEPLOY tracks the lifecycle from announced through energized, so the current state reflects sourced evidence, not the original announcement.
How verified is the data on Chester?
A human editor has reviewed this record for the indexed registry. Every capacity figure is an append-only, dated claim resolved to the highest-evidence tier; superseded claims are kept but excluded from the current view.
