Codex Testnet Paused for Protocol Redesign
🔧 Testnet Takes a Nap
Codex announces a temporary pause of their current testnet to focus on core protocol improvements. The team is revisiting fundamental architectural decisions based on valuable community feedback from testing.
Key updates:
- Current testnet will be paused
- Focus shifts to protocol design and specifications
- New testnet planned, rebuilt from ground up
- Emphasis on usability and resilience
This follows July's announcement of project realignment to better serve the Logos ecosystem. The team is prioritizing robust, censorship-resistant storage while maintaining developer accessibility.
