Codex is a cloudless, trustless, p2p storage protocol seeking to offer strong data persistence and durability guarantees for the Ethereum ecosystem and beyond. Due to the rapid development and implementation of new protocols, the Ethereum blockchain chain has become bloated with data. This data bloat can also be defined as “network congestion,” where transaction data clogs the network and undermines scalability. Codex offers a solution to the DA problem, except with data persistence.
