Week 35 August 2025
After the discussion on the , we have decided to follow through with team NL-BR’s approach and integrate Codex as a simple filesharing service. We will replace the use of torrent files with Codex CIDs, and at first roll out one archive per CID, with a simple bundling optimization in sight if that proves to be a problem.
We have scoped out and assigned most of the work for the integration PoC:
- improvements to NAT traversal: https://github.com/codex-storage/nim-codex/issues/904;
- a C-level API (with eyes on logos-core) that can be shimmed into Go bindings (which status requires): https://github.com/codex-storage/nim-codex/issues/1220;
- a wrap-up of the optimizations to the block protocol: https://github.com/codex-storage/nim-codex/issues/974;
- some back-of-the-envelope calculations for DHT overhead usage under load here and here.
We are also carrying research and discussions on:
- what “low durability” mode should look like, and how it should fit within the broader Codex roadmap;
- what options do we have for scaling lookups for small content;
- what options do we have for privacy-preserving protocols in storage networks.
