Codex: Data Durability Guarantees

Decentralised Data For a Decentralised Future

The Codex organisation is innovating around decentralised data storage. The org and the blockchain community are building solutions to decentralise data storage and guarantee robust data durability. This article examines the current problem with modern data storage techniques, including their weaknesses and challenges. The piece further explores solutions in the

As mentioned in our previous post, Codex is working on research around data availability sampling (DAS) for Ethereum scaling. Part of this research is to develop a simulator that can give us some good estimates about how much time it takes to disseminate a huge block of 128 MB (including

Data Availability Sampling

Data Availability Sampling

The Codex team is busy building a new web3 decentralized storage platform with the latest advances in erasure coding and verification systems. Part of the challenge of deploying decentralized storage infrastructure is to guarantee that the data that has been stored and is available for retrieval from the beginning until

Codex and Ethereum Foundation kick-off!

Codex and Ethereum Foundation kick-off!

One small step for Ethereum's roadmap, one grand step for Codex The Ethereum Foundation (EF) and Codex collaborate to solve overlapping research challenges regarding the scaling of our network infrastructure. Codex has received a grant from the Ethereum Foundation ESP to contribute research on the challenge of proving data availability.
