  Lifecycle and operational status for Codex Protocol, derived from GitHub
  organization metadata, repository archival state, and live domain probes.
status: defunct
summary: >-
  Codex Protocol (a decentralized registry for unique physical assets — art,
  fine wine, watches) was founded in 2018 and is no longer operating. Its
  primary product API and web dapp repositories are archived, its developer
  documentation host no longer resolves, and its marketing domain has been
  repurposed by a third party.

deprecation:
  policy_published: false
  status: >-
    No formal deprecation/sunset policy was ever published. Deprecation is
    signaled implicitly via the "deprecated." repository naming prefix and
    GitHub archival flags. The entire product is end-of-life.
