Registers grid-cbor as draft IPLD codec 0x1027. The code identifies PromiseGrid envelopes. PromiseGrid is a decentralized protocol, computing, and storage infrastructure based in part on Promise Theory.

PromiseGrid uses deterministic CBOR envelopes for messages, files, and CAR blocks, each wrapped in the CBOR grid tag (1735551332). The first slot in a grid envelope is a protocol CID (pCID) which refers to a document that in turn describes the rest of the slots. In order to support graph traversal, codecs need to preserve the 'grid' tag, arbitrary tags, and arbitrary map-key types, as well as tag-42 CID links.
