Logos
Events
Athens offsite
Contributors from Logos, Codex, Nomos, and Waku congregated in the birthplace of democratic ideals to align and strategise in April.
Logos Assembly 1: Athens
We hosted the first Logos Assembly in Athens in April. The initiative will come to other cities and provide a casual forum to circulate ideas and network. Follow us on X for more Logos Assembly information.
Building Network States (Dubai Edition) with build_republic
We cohosted Building Network States with allies from build_republic in Dubai. Unfortunate weather striking the region hurt overall attendance but pre-event registrations provide promising evidence of support for our mission.
Others
Logos and Waku contributors spoke at ETHDam and the Web3Privacy Now Amsterdam meetup alongside notable presenters, including cryptography pioneer and DigiCash creator, David Chaum.
Partnerships
Web3Privacy Now
Our recent alliance aims to foster privacy-focused initiatives and promote greater privacy across web3. Read more.

Research
Nomos continues to research a variety of fields, including ZK and consensus solutions and network architectures to arrive at publishable specifications. A work in progress, the specifications for all elements will change. However, these publications will document our explorations and progress.
Meanwhile, the development team is laying the foundations for the network’s building blocks, specifically:
- Mixnet (network layer)
- Cryptarchia (consensus layer)
- NomosDA (data availability layer)
- Coordination layer
Contact Nomos via Discord to share your opinions on the team’s research and development direction.
