State of the Logos Network: July 2025

Your roundup of recent developments from the Logos community and ecosystem

Logos

Road to PSF arrives in Zanzibar, Logos Circles emerge online and IRL, new Nwaku release, Codex restructures, and Nomos specs finalised.

Cultivating community

Logos is an ambitious project seeking to redefine the way humans organise. Such an undertaking can only be successful with the support of a passionate and driven community. If our mission and values speak to you, please bring your energy and skills to the cause. We celebrate and reward those building alongside us.

If you’re eager but struggling to find ways to help, check the #Contribute channel in our Discord, or you can post ideas for initiatives on the Logos Forum.

Logos IRL

Logos Circles

Logos Circles are meetups held in various hubs around the world and in cyberspace. Their aim is to expand the Logos community and identify issues that Logos technologies and grassroots collective action can address.

Logos Circle: Lisbon continues to gather momentum, and we hosted the latest edition early in July. During the event, we moved forward with plans to establish a decentralised marketplace for the Talude grogue factory with plans to connect the family-run operation with local businesses and buyers. If you have ideas to help move this project forward, please join the discussion in the Logos Circle: Lisbon channel.

We hosted the inaugural Logos Circle: London on 10 July. Attendees identified several issues facing the UK capital, such as a diminishing innovation culture, heavy reliance on outsourced skills while ignoring local talent, and the consequences of AI for employment. We look forward to the next one and developing ways to deploy Logos technologies to help the local community.

Later in July, the first Logos Circle: Zanzalu discussed the deep employment crisis stifling the prospects of the local community. Together, we explored ideas for new initiatives, including local p2p markets, regenerative green jobs, and web3-native skill networks. The event resulted in us working to support a local school with computing equipment and training. You can support this initiative here.

We announced the first Logos Circle: Los Angeles will be hosted at the Arts District Brewing Company on 20 August. We invite anyone who’s excited about optimising how we cooperate to progress as a society to join us. We’ll be discussing the Logos technology stack and how communities can leverage it to tackle local challenges. More info.

We hosted the first Logos Circles: Online on 8 July via X Spaces, and have held another three since. The events are every Tuesday at 17:00 UTC. Logos Circles: Online provide a regular meeting space for those inspired by Logos’ mission and technologies to connect, support each other’s initiatives, and cultivate the power of the Logos grassroots movement worldwide. Join the spaces via the Logos X account.

Interested in Logos Circles but don’t see one in your area? You can help bring the movement to your community by starting a local Circle. Join us on Discord and let us know you're interested. We’ll support you with guidance, planning resources, and promotion.

Parallel Society Festival and Road to PSF

As preparations for next year’s PSF continue in the background, we kicked off our Road to PSF promotional efforts in Zanzibar. Logos collaborated with Zanzalu to host an experiential event in Fumba Town, Zanzibar, featuring live performances from local musicians and DJs, alongside the Kwetu Kwenu Community Market, and much more.

These pop-up events around the world aim to connect global and local scenes through music, art, conversation, and technology and provide a taste of next year’s PSF. Look out for one near you, or if you have an idea for a potential location, please share it with us, and we can discuss how to make it happen.

Logos at Zanzalu

Various Logos contributors supported the Zanzalu pop-up city initiative in the Fumba Free Economic Zone in Zanzibar. Logos contributor Václav shared his insights on vulnerabilities inherent to centralised infrastructure on 25 July as part of the technical portion of the event.

Logos also co-curated Zanzalu’s Student Weekend on 26 and 27 July, which focused on encouraging innovators from the area’s youth talent to inspire future generations to think creatively about community organisation.

Learning

X Spaces and Podcasts

Alongside the new Logos Circles: Online discussions, Logos hosts regular X Spaces with those at the forefront of governance and technological innovation. July’s Spaces tackled such topics as gaming as a means to kickstart parallel economies and the threat to civil liberties posed by central bank digital currencies. Follow Logos on X to join these community discussions every Thursday.

Jarrad Hope also appeared on the Charter Cities Institute podcast to discuss his soon-to-be-published book, Farewell to Westphalia, co-authored by friend of Logos and philosopher Peter Ludlow. Watch it below and sign up for publishing updates here (release date coming very soon!).

Logos Press Engine

Logos Press Engine published the next instalment of our Learn series. “Why Build a Network State” explores how blockchain-based governance presents economic opportunities worth trillions of dollars while defending the civil liberties of billions currently underserved by the incumbent system. Read it now.

If you’re new to the concept of network states, we recommend reading part one of the series “What Is a Network State?” first. Next in the Learn series is “How to Build a Network State”, which will explore practical steps for establishing blockchain-based governance for online and IRL communities.

Logos Press Engine also welcomed our first community contribution last month. In “What Happened to the Spirit of Freedom?”, Logos community member JosiahWarren explores how the motivations inspiring the Founding Fathers mirror those of the Logos movement. Read here and stay tuned for the next instalment of this series.

Logos Press Engine is actively looking to publish community contributions. If you have something to add to the alternative governance conversation, tag the user “@0xbathang” in the #General channel of the Logos Discord. They’ll help you get up and running.

Community shoutouts

Like any movement, Logos can only move forward because of the people behind it. If the idea of helping shape a better future excites you, we’d love to have you on board.

Each month, we recognise members of the community who go above and beyond to support us, whether that’s building tech for Logos or helping grow the movement.

This month, we’re shouting out:

JosiahWarren for contributing to Logos Press Engine.
Opde for their work on Secret Vault, a decentralised time-capsule module built on Codex in very early development. We look forward to seeing it open sourced very soon!
Zhtbatu for attending both Logos Circle: Lisbon and Online and sharing their initiative to establish an intentional, supportive community hub in Quinta da Moxa, Portugal, for local creatives.
All the community members who attended or joined the conversation during Logos Spaces.
Everyone who brought their enthusiasm and passion to a Logos Circles meetup.

Want your own community shoutout? Do something cool to advance our mission and tell us about it! If you want feedback on something you’re working on, share it on the Logos Forum, then drop the link in Discord to connect with people who can help move it forward.
