Codex 2024 Year in Review

Codex 2024 Year in Review

As 2024 draws to a close, we at Codex are proud to reflect on the milestones, challenges, and breakthroughs that defined our journey this past year. Our most important moment of 2024 was the launch of the public Codex testnet, empowering anyone to run a node and help build the

Codex September Updates

Codex September Updates

Level up with the Codex decentralised storage protocol newsletter. Each month, we will explore key developments, updates, and insights. Together, we will craft a future where you own your data. It is time to end censorship. Testnet Launch and Whitepaper Release The marquee update from September was the much-anticipated public

A Durable Record: Why Decentralised Storage is Vital for Web3 and Beyond

A Durable Record: Why Decentralised Storage is Vital for Web3 and Beyond

Our digital world now generates 400 million terabytes of data every day, and the vulnerabilities of centralised storage systems have become increasingly apparent. Decentralised storage offers a more efficient, censorship-resistant, and resilient solution for preserving data in the web3 era. The risks of storing data with centralised parties are clear.

Modern Antiquity: Untying the Gordian Knot of Data Preservation

I am passionate about the future of durable, decentralised storage infrastructure to preserve vital archival records, knowledge, and documents. Before being involved with the Codex organisation and the p2p storage ecosystem, I had a weak grasp of the importance and intricacies of data storage — I was blissfully uninformed and ignorant.

Scaling the Archive: Ethereum's Quest for Data Abundance

Scaling the Archive: Ethereum's Quest for Data Abundance

Prerequisite knowledge: Ethereum consensus, roadmap, decentralised data storage, Codex, Vitalk's Endgame paper. "One of the points that I made in my post two and half years ago on "the Endgame" is that the different future development paths for a blockchain, at least technologically, look surprisingly

What is DePIN? Cloudless Data Storage for Collaborative Consumption

What is DePIN? Cloudless Data Storage for Collaborative Consumption

Society's vital infrastructure is centralised, prone to failures, and enriches the few at the expense of the many. This infrastructure includes supply chains, energy grids, and data storage facilities. However, only a few solutions exist to replace centralised providers due to technological shortcomings or professed belief in the

Bloated Blockchains: A Trilemma, Data Availability, and the Codex Answer

Bloated Blockchains: A Trilemma, Data Availability, and the Codex Answer

Have you ever swapped ETH for another token on Uniswap? I connected via Metamask and tried to trade .01 Eth (roughly $35 at the time of writing) for SNT (Status Network Token). The gas fee costs as much as the transaction. That is too high of a fee to trade

Decentralised Storage for Virtual Self-Sovereign Territories

Decentralised Storage for Virtual Self-Sovereign Territories

Codex is building durable, censorship-resistant storage to achieve greater decentralisation and internet neutrality. Codex is also building decentralised storage to encourage the development of virtual self-sovereign territories. Without decentralised storage, the internet remains more vulnerable to hacks, outages, censorship, and attacks. Virtual territories would also be challenging to deploy in

Big Block Diffusion and Organic Big Blocks on Ethereum

Big Block Diffusion and Organic Big Blocks on Ethereum

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

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
