State of the Logos Network: June 2025

Your roundup of recent developments from the Logos community and ecosystem

Logos

Brno Circle activates, a Keycard manifesto, Operators enter Epoch 3, building on Waku at W3PN Hacks, and Codex explores integrations.

Cultivating community

Logos is a passionately open-source collective that thrives on its community's contributions. We engage in various initiatives that provide community members with avenues to support our mission to upgrade human governance. Below, we recap our efforts from June 2025.

If you want to contribute to Logos but don’t know where to start, you’ll find some ideas in the #Contribute channel in our Discord, or you can post ideas for initiatives on the Logos Forum.

Community shoutouts

Logos cannot succeed without a committed and aligned community behind it. If you find the prospect of rebuilding society appealing, we need your support.

Every month, we shine a spotlight on those community members going out of their way to build Logos technologies or grow the Logos tribe.

This month’s Community shoutouts go to:

Qingfu for their help with the Chinese-speaking Logos community.
Vadym for their design support on the Keycard Shell web hub and the Logos zine web pages.
All of those building on Waku at W3PN Hacks.
Keycard’s Guy-Louis for his work on his Logos Press Engine submission.
All the community members who attended or joined the conversation during Logos Spaces.
Everyone who showed up to a Logos Circle meetup.

If you’re working on something that you’d like to get the community’s input on, tell us about it on the Logos Forum and post the link in Discord to involve your peers.

Logos Campaigns

Save the Songs: Decentralise the Internet Archive’s Music Collection

As part of our campaign to stand with the Internet Archive in its ongoing legal battle, we updated the Logos website to show our support. We also published an awareness-raising video. Watch it below.

Logos IRL

Logos Circles

Logos Circles is an initiative to put our ideas into practice on the ground. With support from Logos, the community hosts events at hubs around the world to identify local issues and deploy our energies and technologies to solve them. Logos already has Circles established in Lisbon, Portugal, and Brno, Czech Republic. Planning is also underway for a London Circle.

Last month saw the first meeting of the Brno Circle. Logos and Waku contributor Václav led the event on 12 June, speaking on the historical precedent of parallel societies, particularly in the Czech Republic, and how Logos technologies enable their digital counterparts.

If you’re interested in Logos Circles but there isn’t one local to you, you can help us spread our message and tech by starting a new one. Just join us on Discord and let us know you're interested in starting a local Circle. We’ll be there to offer you guidance, help with planning, and promotional support.

Parallel Society Festival and Road to PSF

Last month, we revealed that the Parallel Society Festival will be held in Lisbon, Portugal, next March. The event is not your average crypto conference; it’s a celebration of human cultures and an opportunity to discuss how blockchain technologies can be applied to the monumental project of upgrading human governance.

Watch this space – we’ll be revealing more details, including confirmed music artists and speakers, very soon.

To help spread the word about PSF and Logos generally, we’ll be hosting various warm-up events between now and March 2026. The first Road to PSF event is on 19 July in Fumba Town, Zanzibar, with support from friends from the Zanzalu pop-up city initiative.

More information about Road to PSF: Zanzibar and registration.

Logos Operators

Logos Operators, our collection of Bitcoin ordinals, entered Epoch 3 on July 1. If you were staking an Operator during Epoch 2, you don’t need to take any action to stake it again for Epoch 3. The third epoch will last for 52 weeks and aims to help the Logos community transition into a fully open-source ecosystem. To mark the occasion and field community questions, we hosted an X Space at the end of June, which you can listen to here.

Like the previous epoch, there will be no mass inscription events in Epoch 3. Instead, we will be awarding Operators to those community members who consistently provide value to the community. You can discover ways to contribute in the #Contribute channel in the Logos Discord, or you can come up with your own. Your efforts will be rewarded.

Learning

X Spaces and Podcasts

As part of our efforts to build hype around the forthcoming book by Logos cofounder Jarrad Hope and philosopher Peter Ludlow, Jarrad appeared on the GreenPilled podcast with Kevin Owocki. The two discussed Farewell to Westphalia’s themes and more.

We’ve also been hosting regular spaces on X to give the Logos community a taste of what to expect when the book is released. In June, we had the author of The Network State, Balaji Srinivasan; Ernesto Huerta of Cryptospace; blockchain entrepreneur Roc Zacharias; and author of The Conscious Resistance, John Vibes. Follow Logos on X to join the conversations every Thursday.

A Keycard Manifesto

Guy-Louis, the lead for the Logos-affiliated Keycard hardware wallet, wrote “We Need Sovereign Tools: A Keycard Manifesto”. It explores the importance of sovereign hardware and the various design choices the team made when creating Keycard and Keycard Shell. The article first appeared as a Logos Forum post, but we gave it the Acid.info treatment and published it on Logos Press Engine to help spread the word.

Read the new Keycard manifesto here.

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.
