Description
Covalent Network is a Decentralized data infrastructure protocol addressing long-term blockchain data availability and verifiability. The network captures raw blockchain state as Block Specimens which are enriched by Block Results Producers and stored across distributed operator nodes. Network Operators stake CXT tokens as an economic bond covering roles including Block Specimen Producer, Block Results Producer, and Ethereum Wayback Machine Light Client, with cryptographic proofs verifying data accuracy at each stage. The Ethereum Wayback Machine component preserves complete Ethereum historical state as the protocol moves toward state expiry under EIP-4444.
