 ## Codecs
 
 * We want Reth's serialized format to be able to trade off read/write speed for size, depending on who the user is.
-* To achieve that, we created the [Encode/Decode/Compress/Decompress trais](https://github.com/paradigmxyz/reth/blob/0d9b9a392d4196793736522f3fc2ac804991b45d/crates/interfaces/src/db/table.rs#L9-L36) to make the (de)serialization of database `Table::Key` and `Table::Values` generic.

     * This allows for [out-of-the-box benchmarking](https://github.com/paradigmxyz/reth/blob/0d9b9a392d4196793736522f3fc2ac804991b45d/crates/db/benches/encoding_iai.rs#L5) (using [Criterion](https://github.com/bheisler/criterion.rs) and [Iai](https://github.com/bheisler/iai))
     * It also enables [out-of-the-box fuzzing](https://github.com/paradigmxyz/reth/blob/0d9b9a392d4196793736522f3fc2ac804991b45d/crates/interfaces/src/db/codecs/fuzz/mod.rs) using [trailofbits/test-fuzz](https://github.com/trailofbits/test-fuzz).
 * We implemented that trait for the following encoding formats:
