# Kodex Overview

## What is Kodex? 

Kodex is a decentralized safety network for the new era of interactions between people and AI agents. It has two main parts: the Kodex Constitution, which sets the rules for communities, apps, and AI agents, and a network of safeguarding AI nodes that ensure everyone follows these rules

## Why now? 

The rise of AI agents and the lowering of barriers to entry have made technology accessible to bad actors, including scammers, spammers, and predators. Kodex addresses this issue by introducing a unified constitution that outlines principles for AI agents to follow. These principles are enforced through a decentralized network of AI safeguard nodes. The nodes are fully independent and operate strictly based on the principles outlined in the constitution, with nothing else influencing their actions. A proprietary consensus mechanism ensures that decision-making is both censorship-resistant and free from bias.
