The Logos Stack

The Logos technology stack is the base for the next generation of governing services, incentivising the formation of borderless public institutions based on voluntary consent. Recent breakthroughs in zero-knowledge protocols, distributed systems, and leaderless consensus algorithms provide the technical foundation that makes such a base layer possible.
Each protocol is modular and fully composable, allowing development teams to customise privacy and decentralisation to suit their specific needs. We are particularly excited about the combination of Codex, Waku, and Bitcoin, which we believe will drive the most promising decentralised application ecosystem on the most secure network. When privacy is required, Nomos provides a robust consensus layer to ensure confidentiality.
Codex is a decentralised data storage platform that provides exceptionally strong censorship resistance and durability guarantees. It is the data storage layer of the .
Durable: Codex uses a technique known as erasure coding to efficiently ensure data is always available without the storage costs associated with replicating the data.
Decentralised: Codex's incentivisation mechanism promotes wide participation of data storage providers, both small and large, thus ensuring a robust network resistant to censorship and external attack.
Accessible: Participating in the Codex network is highly accessible thanks to its permissionless nature and bandwidth usage optimisations like its "lazy repair" recovery system.
Censorship resistant: Codex has no power to censor data and protects against censorship and data loss from DDoS attacks, data corruption, and even the shutdown of a significant number of nodes.
Waku is the peer-to-peer communication layer for the It removes centralised third parties from messaging, enabling private, scalable, censorship-resistant communication.
Private: Waku leverages cutting-edge zero-knowledge encryption to guarantee all messaging and associated metadata benefit from rock-solid privacy, protecting users from third-party intervention.
Scalable: Waku employs message sharding for efficient throughput, while its discovery protocol ensures a user only connects to nodes serving messages they are interested in.
Decentralised: Waku's native incentivisation mechanisms will ensure a wide node distribution, making it highly secure and strengthening its privacy assurances.
Runs anywhere: Waku's modularity enables developers to integrate protocols according to their use case and users' hardware restraints. Waku was designed to be lightweight, enabling it to run in resource-restricted environments like browsers and mobile devices.
Nomos is a sovereign, modular, zero-knowledge encrypted layer-1. It serves as a scalable, trustless agreement layer for Logos.
Modular: Modular design is essential for combining decentralisation with scalability. Nomos has a modular architecture separating data availability, coordination, and execution layers.
Programmable: Nomos' programmability facilitates novel onchain governance mechanisms, financial services, and social interactions without relying on central entities that routinely break society's trust.
Sovereign: Nomos' innovative execution layer enables digital communities and network states to customise various parameters while benefiting from the security of the wider chain. Users may remain on the initial chain or migrate to a new one.
Privacy preserving: Nomos offers network-level privacy for users, developers, and infrastructure providers and the ability to shield identifying information like location and transaction details.
Vac is a principle-driven research and development group that provides technical support to Codex, Waku, and Nomos, comprising of R&D Service Units, Deep Research, and Incubator Projects.
