About Event

Logos is building the world’s first network state.

After many years of theorising, breakthroughs in cryptography and peer-to-peer networking have unlocked the possibility of creating a self-sovereign parallel society, existing independently in cyberspace. 

To do it, we are building a fully decentralised, politically neutral tech stack, complete with p2p communications, file storage, and a multi-chain ecosystem with network level and transaction privacy. 

This means reimagining the public internet infrastructure, allowing us to drastically increase the cost of surveillance, censorship, and coercion as a means of safeguarding our freedoms.

What is Logos

Logos is a continuation of the original cypherpunk movement, which advocates for the widespread use of strong cryptography and privacy-enhancing technologies as a route to social and political change. We are a grassroots collective on a mission to return crypto to its roots as a radical technology for individual and collective freedom.

If you're interested in helping build an optimistic future, come meet the sharpest minds in our movement and catch up with with the bleeding edge of cryptographic technology and radical politics.

Allies

Creating viable alternatives to the status quo is not a zero-sum game. Meet some of the allies who will be present at the event.

Waku is a decentralised communication protocol that scales. Private. Secure. P2P. The comms layer for the Logos network state.

Codex is a decentralised data storage platform that provides exceptionally strong censorship resistance and durability guarantees. The storage layer for the Logos network state.

Vac builds public good protocols for the decentralized web. Applied research for protocols, libraries and publications. The research branch of the Logos network state.

Spearbit is the collective that connects independent security experts to the Web3 projects that need them.

Nym provides strong network-level privacy against sophisticated end-to-end attackers and anonymous transactions using blinded, re-randomizable, decentralised credentials.

Dappnode Run decentralised networks like Ethereum and Bitcoin through their open-source software, or plug & play hardware solutions.

Workshop

Waku will be giving a hands-on workshop on how to build your own Waku node in the cloud. This will involve you actually setting up a node, do please bring your laptop or any necessary hardware you'd like to use.

Art

During the day there will be ongoing live art performances, metaphorically showcasing the build-and-break process we all go through. We will also have local artists exhibiting their work in the brutalist Galerie Joseph Le Palais.

Co-work

We will have tables, wifi, food and specialty espressos ready to fuel your build mode. Ready, connect, build.
