Codex is a decentralized registry for unique assets like art, fine wines, watches, jewellery, collectible cars etc. In art & collectibles, an item’s identity is central to its value. The Art and Collectibles asset class is estimated at $2 Trillion, that's $2,000,000,000,000. To buy or sell, get insurance, or take out a loan, previous owners, history and authenticity are constantly checked and verified. Codex stores an item’s identity and history securely on the blockchain, immutable and transparent for all to verify. The need for a registry is essential because currently no centralized (or decentralized) title registry exists. In Art and Collectibles (A&C), the provenance (the history of ownership of an item and associated documentation) accounts for almost the entire monetary value of an item, because it is the most important indicator of authenticity.
With a widely adopted registry, it is expected there will be lower transaction costs and less fraud. Simplified financial products could appear like lending or fractionalization (tokenization) of assets. Imagine stolen collectibles being returned to their rightful owners, forgeries detected with minimal effort. The Codex registry is an ERC-721 Smart Contract.

Validators and rewards
Once an item is on Codex, it's future ownership is immutably tracked. When items are first loaded onto Codex, any associated info needs to be verified. Codex Protocol relies on validators to research and load this info, or to verify it if loaded by end-users. Experts in their respected fields (art, auction houses, dealers, gallerists and appraisers) can earn fees as they do in the offline world. A reputation system can enhance this process.
