Editing Codex/Requirements (section)

== 1. Introduction ==

<span id="purpose"></span>
=== 1.1 Purpose ===

This Software Requirements Specification (SRS) document provides a detailed description of the Codex decentralized data distribution and persistence module. It outlines the functional and non-functional requirements for implementing a robust, censorship-resistant storage layer for the Logos tech stack.

<span id="document-conventions"></span>
=== 1.2 Document Conventions ===

The following conventions are used in this document:
* “MUST” indicates a requirement that is essential for the Minimum Viable Product (MVP)
* “SHOULD” indicates a requirement planned for subsequent releases
* “MAY” indicates an optional requirement that could be implemented
* Technical terms are defined in Appendix A: Glossary

=== 1.3 Intended Audience and Reading Suggestions ===

This document is intended for:
* Software developers implementing the Codex system
* System architects designing the overall Logos tech stack
* Quality assurance testers verifying system functionality
* Project managers overseeing development
* Storage providers and clients who will use the system

Readers should first review Section 1 for an overview, then:
* Developers should focus on Sections 3 and 4
* System architects should focus on Sections 2 and 5
* Storage providers should focus on Sections 4.3 and 4.6
* Clients should focus on Sections 4.1 and 4.3

=== 1.4 Product Scope ===

Codex is a decentralized storage protocol that serves as the storage layer for the Logos tech stack.

# Primary Focus
#* Optimized for Logos module delivery and persistence
#* Designed for decentralized application storage
#* Integrated with Logos Module Manager for secure module distribution
#* Supports web hosting and content delivery
# Core Features
#* Strong censorship resistance through decentralized storage
#* High durability guarantees (99.99%) through erasure coding
#* Efficient storage proofs using zero-knowledge proofs
#* Market-based incentive structure for storage providers
#* Cross-component integration within Logos architecture
# Architecture Integration
#* Works alongside Nomos (agreement layer)

The system provides robust decentralized storage while maintaining optimizations for the Logos ecosystem.
