Clio-X Trial NotesWhat we learned running Clio-X on a test network

Notes from September 2026, for archivists, developers and the Clio-X project team.

For archivists

What Clio-X does, explained in archival terms. A short video, a glossary, and a safe way to look around the trial site without a wallet.

Run your own Clio-X on the Sepolia test network — Ocean Node, subgraph and portal — with the API described in OpenAPI and the problems we hit.

Overview

The trial check of 26 September 2026, eight prototypes built on the way, and the questions we would like to discuss.

Overview

A trial copy of Clio-X runs at cliox.ldas.jp. It uses Sepolia, a test network where nothing costs real money.
One sample document was published and analysed there end to end: the analysis ran on the service, and only its result came back.
On the way we found that records stay tied to the service that published them. If that service closes, the records disappear from the catalogue. Read the note for archivists.
The trial is run by one researcher as a study. It is not an official Clio-X service and may be stopped.
