vac:dst:codex:2025q1-codex-base-capacity

Description

We will ensure Codex has a reliable storage base capacity and study its behavior during support. To enable scalability, we will test Codex with large deployments of 100TB+ and various setups.

Background

Narratives

Our efforts will contribute to the Conduit of Expertise narrative by accelerating Codex development through real-world testing, improving the RFC process with performance insights, and simplifying post-mortem analysis of RFC outcomes to enhance future improvements. Additionally, we will support the Premier Research narrative by helping Codex build a stable foundation for further research and innovative use cases.

Additional info

This commitment has been rescheduled from 2024Q4 to 2025Q1 due to unforeseen circumstances, including an extended sick leave of a CC.

Description

We have deployed a large set of base capacity to the Codex testnet. Now we need to keep it online, stable and prevented from losing data where possible.

It consists of 50x nodes with 10xTB of data each for now.

Deliverables

  • Downloads/uploads tested and working for at least 3 selected nodes.
  • 🚧 Ongoing monitoring (not a one time thing)
  • ✅ 500TB of overall capacity provided to the network
