Cultivating community

Logos is a movement dedicated to redefining the way people connect and collaborate. Bringing this vision to reality depends on the drive and imagination of a passionate community.

If our principles resonate with you, we invite you to share your skills and insights. Everyone who builds with us receives recognition and support.

The Logos Contribute portal makes it easy to participate, whether by writing code to advance the Logos technology stack; building on it; or supporting the movement with creative, non-technical ideas. Submit your proposed contribution through the portal, and we’ll help you get started.

Campaigns

Privacy in Practice

Last month, we sponsored two tracks as part of RealFi Hack, a virtual hackathon encouraging the building of tools that people actually need today. The Logos-sponsored Resilient Activist Technology and Logos x Tor Privacy infrastructure tracks produced some very promising submissions, resulting in two winners per category. Each winning team received $2,000 in bounties and a Keycard for each member.

Logos tracks' RealFi Hack winners:

Our latest article on Logos Press Engine provides in-depth details about each of the winning entries. Read it now.

We’ll also be giving a technical overview of winning projects on X each week. Watch the Ash technical overview now and follow Logos on X to catch the next one.

Next up for Privacy in Practice, we head to Buenos Aires to participate in various initiatives alongside Funding the Commons ahead of this year’s Devconnect:

If you’ll be in Buenos Aires in November, learn more about each initiative and how to get involved here.

Farewell to Westphalia

In September, Logos Press Engine released its debut book, Farewell to Westphalia, and our promotional efforts continued into October. Authored by Logos cofounder Jarrad Hope and Peter Ludlow (author of Crypto Anarchy, Cyberstates, and Pirate Utopias), it examines how blockchain technology can be applied across different layers of collaboration. Its central thesis is that reinventing our systems of governance can reduce corruption and foster continuous experimentation and optimisation, leading to greater human flourishing.

The book is available now in both physical and ereader editions via major online bookstores and as a free digital download on the Logos website. Read it now.

If you’ve already read Farewell to Westphalia and found it insightful, we’d greatly appreciate it if you could leave a short review on Goodreads or Amazon to boost its visibility. The book represents a core part of the Logos vision, and sharing it widely helps invite others to engage with and support the movement.

Logos Press Engine

Logos Press Engine published an overview of the winning RealFi Hack projects in October. Read it now.

We’re also working with community member Nova on a trilogy of articles that uses the Sahel coup belt as a live case study for the transition from nation-state to parallel, alternative governance. The series aims to bridge Farewell to Westphalia's theoretical framework with The Network State's implementation blueprint, illustrating one possible strategy to deploy blockchain governance in environments where legacy institutions have failed.

X Spaces

Logos’ October spaces focused heavily on privacy-enhancing tech, coinciding with the ongoing Privacy in Practice campaign. We started the month with a special guest from the Internet Archive and discussed the organisation’s efforts to save the modern archive with new decentralised tooling.

The following week, Harry Halpin from Nym joined us to discuss cypherpunk philosophy, crypto anarchism, and Nym’s VPN technology. The Open Dialogue Foundation also came on to talk about how to protect privacy activists and help those who have been debanked in crypto.

Then, author Ben Collier, author of Tor: From the Dark Web to the Future of Privacy, treated the Logos community to a freewheeling history of Tor, its strengths, weaknesses, and criticality for preserving access to information and media on the internet. Later in the month, Mykola from Web3 Privacy Now had an in-depth conversation with us about what cypherpunk really means in today’s world, with a focus on neo-cypherpunk ideology.

We ended the month strong with a live broadcast Space from Edge City in Argentina. The cofounder of Edge, Timour Kosters, joined us to discuss philosophy, transhumanism, and the difference between the solarpunk and lunarpunk ethos.

Follow Logos on X to listen in and join these fascinating discussions every Thursday.

Logos IRL

Logos Circles

Logos Circles connect individuals both online and in community hubs across the globe. These spaces provide opportunities to apply Logos technologies in practical ways and to collaborate on local, grassroots initiatives that tackle genuine community challenges. Their purpose is to enhance members’ lives while expanding the global network of Logos technologists, creators, and thinkers.

Learn more about Logos Circles.

October Logos Circles:

We kindly ask that all Circle stewards write up their meetup reports on the Logos Forum. This way, other Circles can understand if there is overlap between their own initiatives and ideas propagated in another Circle, which can be forked and adapted to the needs of different communities. If knowledge equals power, then knowledge sharing equals peer empowerment!

November Logos Circles (so far):

We want to expand the Circles initiative worldwide and are seeking dedicated, value-aligned community members to help lead this effort. If you’re interested in starting a Circle, introduce yourself in the #intros channel on the Logos community, share the location where you’d like to form one, and tag @amelia__cares. As new Circles are established, they’ll be listed on Logos Events.

Parallel Society

Planning continues for the main Parallel Society event, held in Lisbon, Portugal, on the 6 and 7 March 2026. The not-for-profit gathering unites tech pioneers, governance visionaries, and counter-cultural performers to collaborate in building a freer, more prosperous future for all.

Ten coalition members have already signed up to build Parallel Society, and we’re getting very close to revealing them, along with the lineup for day two’s cultural celebration and launching ticket sales.

Help us build an event like no other by joining the coalition here.

Road to Parallel Society

As part of our awareness-building Road to Parallel Society initiative, we’re sponsoring Rare Effect Lisbon, taking place on 7 and 8 November. We’ll be hosting a Logos Circle on 5 Nov and a documentary panel with the Quinta do Mocho community on 7 Nov. More information about the film night and Rare Effect.

We’ll also be hosting a three-hour visual takeover during sets by DJs from local studios Collective Unconscious and luca_untitl3d on 8 November. More information.
