Logos Circle and Workshop in Rome - Urbe Village
Welcome to the first Logos Circle gathering in Rome, taking place during Urbe Village!
In Part 1, we’ll open a discussion on key community issues — from housing and food insecurity to digital autonomy and surveillance capitalism.
We believe real change begins at the local level. Logos Circles are a global network of autonomous groups uniting people to strengthen their communities and create meaningful social impact.
In Part 2, you’ll take part in a hands-on workshop exploring Waku, the Logos peer-to-peer communications layer, followed by a presentation on Nomos, the peer-to-peer consensus layer.
Following this amazing morning, we'll have a nice lunch all together next door.
Part 1: 9:30 - 11:30am

About Logos
Logos is a fully decentralised, privacy-preserving, and politically neutral technology stack. The stack includes three modular, decentralised protocols: Nomos (consensus), Codex (storage), and Waku (messaging). Combined, they provide the technical foundation for cyber states, parallel societies, network states, or any borderless public institution based on voluntary consent.
Logos is also a collection of learning communities that will govern and sustain the network in the spirit of the original cypherpunks. Together, they form the grassroots movement needed to build the social, economic, and governing institutions that will live on the technology stack.
Eventually, these institutions will populate a competitive marketplace that can fill gaps in governance in the real world, providing trust-minimised, corruption-resistant public services wherever the internet can reach.
