According to Beating AI News, the open-source project CodexHost transforms Codex Desktop into a multi-agent workbench. It currently supports Codex, Claude Code, Pi, Oh My Pi, Grok Build, and DeepSeek Harness, allowing users to create and manage sessions for different agents within the same window.

Codex Desktop provides a unified interface; each agent continues to run its own Harness. For example, Claude Code continues to use its Agent SDK/CLI, and Pi continues to use its own RPC. CodexHost integrates these into Codex, thus preserving native capabilities such as tool calls, code diffing, approval, and questioning.

Different agents can also dispatch tasks to each other. For example, while Codex is writing code, it can separately launch Claude Code for code review, with both working in parallel, and then Codex reads the results. Essentially, multiple Coding Agents can be scheduled simultaneously within a single Codex window.

Installing CodexHost will not modify the official Codex or replace the Codex CLI. It will not be used when you open Codex Desktop or run the Codex CLI normally; it will only take effect when launched from CodexHost.

According to BlockBeats, on August 31, data from DefiLlama showed that Robinhood Chain's DEX trading volume in the past 24 hours was approximately $1.33 billion, marking the fourth consecutive day of record-breaking single-day trading volume. The seven-day trading volume was approximately $6.16 billion, representing a week-on-week increase of approximately 79%.

With a daily transaction volume of $1.33 billion, it surpassed the data of Ethereum mainnet ($993 million), BNB Chain ($962 million) and Base network ($881 million) during the same period, second only to Solana ($1.86 billion).

It's worth noting that Robinhood Chain's DeFi TVL is only $725 million, roughly 13% of Solana/Base/BSC and about 1.5% of Ethereum. However, benefiting from the high trading activity of Meme coin, Robinhood Chain generated $1.07 million in chain fees in the past 24 hours, equivalent to the combined total of Ethereum ($362,000) and Solana ($677,000) during the same period, making it the chain with the highest fees across the entire network (excluding application layers).

According to the retained revenue calculated by DefiLlama's on-chain economic model, Robinhood Chain's 24-hour revenue reached $963,000, far exceeding Ethereum ($70,000), Solana ($84,000), BSC ($44,000), and Base Network ($93,000), and is three times that of the other major public chain networks combined.

However, this does not mean that Robinhood's overall ecosystem revenue has surpassed that of Solana or the Ethereum ecosystem, because DefiLlama's chain revenue statistics only measure network layer revenue. The outlier in Robinhood Chain's revenue is essentially a result of the meme trading boom combined with the L2 sequencer economic model. Unlike Ethereum, Solana, and BSC, Robinhood Chain retains a significant portion of user gas after paying Ethereum's data costs and Arbitrum licensing fees. Therefore, when high-frequency meme transactions flood in, network layer revenue is rapidly amplified.

According to BlockBeats, on August 31, as the war with Iran continues to disrupt shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, Gulf states such as Saudi Arabia and the UAE are accelerating investments in port, pipeline, and railway projects in an attempt to bypass this crucial energy route. Before the conflict, the Strait of Hormuz carried approximately one-fifth of the world's oil traffic; currently, its flow remains far below normal levels.

Saudi Arabia is studying the expansion of an east-west crude oil pipeline connecting its eastern oil-producing region with the port of Yanbu on the Red Sea. The pipeline currently has a daily capacity of approximately 7 million barrels, and Saudi Arabia is considering adding another 1 to 2 million barrels per day, while also exploring the possibility of neighboring countries using the network to bypass the Strait of Hormuz.

The UAE is accelerating the development of the Fujairah Port. In July, DP World agreed to a 50-year concession to develop two new terminals: the Al Rugaylat container and multipurpose terminal with a maximum annual handling capacity of 2.5 million TEUs, and the Dibba general cargo terminal, which will add 3.6 million tons of cargo handling capacity. Furthermore, Abu Dhabi is pushing forward with a new crude oil pipeline, expected to be operational in 2027, which could potentially double the UAE's crude oil export capacity bypassing the Strait of Hormuz via Fujairah.

The obstruction of the Strait of Hormuz has already had a significant impact on the Gulf economy. A Reuters survey in July predicted that Qatar and Kuwait's economies would shrink by 8.1% each by 2026, while Saudi Arabia's was projected to grow by 1.4%. Qatar has been particularly hard hit, as its liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports are highly dependent on the Strait of Hormuz, and its LNG exports have fallen by 96% since the outbreak of the war.

Shipping recovery remains limited. Preliminary data from Kpler shows that only seven commodity vessels passed through the Strait of Hormuz last Thursday, compared to an average of 15 vessels over the previous 10 days. Gulf states are using this opportunity to accelerate the development of alternative energy and trade routes along the Red Sea and Arabian Sea coasts, aiming to reduce their future strategic dependence on a single maritime chokepoint.
