Logos Circle Lisbon
Welcome to the upcoming gathering of the Logos Circle Lisbon! This special edition marks not only our next community meeting but also the kick-off of Rare Effect.
From 6th to 9th November, at Rare Effect Festival, the Quinta do Mocho community will showcase the progress of their ongoing film project, an initiative the Logos Circle has been supporting. The film captures the life, struggles, and creative talent of the community, illustrating the power of grassroots organising when traditional systems fall short.
Logos Circles are self-organising local groups that strengthen civil society by addressing the needs of their communities. From food insecurity and housing struggles to digital autonomy and surveillance capitalism, we believe meaningful change begins at the local level. This Circle is a chance to deepen our connections, follow up on stories raised last time, and welcome new members into the conversation.
Whether you’re ready to contribute or just curious to learn more, you’re invited.

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.
