# The Logos Blockchain Network
The Logos Blockchain Network is a heterogeneous blockchain network, specifically designed to enable communities to have digital infrastructure that is not only appropriate for them, but also owned by them.

## **Logos is building a complete decentralised infrastructure stack - for everyone.**
Our vision of the future provides a pathway for individuals to be able to enforce their own property and privacy rights, and to experiment with new means of social and economic coordination.
Advancements in cryptography and peer-to-peer networking have unlocked the possibility of re-imagining the public internet infrastructure that we conduct our lives upon. These technologies allows us to drastically increase the cost of surveillance, censorship and coercion as a means of safeguarding our freedoms.
This requires a re-imagining of the public internet infrastructure upon which we conduct our lives. Logos answer to this is an ambitious experiment to will web3 into existence. At its foundation, Logos is comprised of three primary modular peer-to-peer protocols for communication, file storage and trustless agreement.
The experiment begins with a decentralised autonomous organisation (DAO) dedicated to the construction of its user-owned, self-sovereign crypto network. The network is comprised of three primary modular peer-to-peer protocols for communication, file storage and trustless agreement.
Individually, they are designed to be easily incorporated into other established systems. Together, they form the foundational public infrastructure required for the next generation of social institutions to emerge.
Together these form the foundation required for the next-generation of voluntary governing services and social institutions to emerge.
**Waku** - *The ephemeral communication layer.*
Waku is a peer-to-peer communication layer.
The first protocol in Logos stack is Waku, which has its origins in Ethereums Whisper protocol, but is optimized for scalability and better usability.
Waku removes centralized third parties from messaging - enabling private, secure, censorship-free communication. Waku is designed for generalized messaging, enabling both human-to-human, machine-to-machine communication, and everything in between. Waku is in production and is actively being used by projects like [Status](https://www.status.im) and [WalletConnect v2.](https://walletconnect.com/) Its economic spam protection is still under research, and a paper published on the topic can be found [here](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vacp2p/research/master/rln-research/Waku_RLN_Relay.pdf)

**Codex** - *The storage layer.*
Codex is a decentralized file storage network.
Whilst p2p storage networks have been around for quite a long time, the lack of incentives, strong data availability, and persistence guarantees make
these networks unsuitable for applications with moderate to high availability requirements. In other words, without reliability at the storage layer it is
impossible to build other reliable applications on top of it. Codex aims to solve this by supplying:
• An incentivized p2p storage network with strong availability and persistence guarantees.
• A resource restricted friendly protocol that can endure higher levels
of churn and large amounts of ephemeral devices.
Codex has a working PoC, as is expected to be in production by 2023.

**Logos** - *The trustless agreements layer*.
Logos Blockchain is a heterogeneous blockchain network.
The first primary protocol of Logos is Logos Blockchain: a heterogeneous blockchain network utilizing its own consensus algorithm to provide fast, scalable and secure trustless agreement, with near-instant transaction finality in user-defined execution environments.
The third component of the Logos stack is a blockchain network that aims to provide fast, scalable and secure smart contracts, with near-instant transaction finality.
The first two client implementations will be written in Nim and Rust once our first specification has been published.
This network is built on top of what we call an "agreements layer" that is powered by a distributed, leaderless consensus algorithm which is currently under active research. Our current repos and tests are set to private until the research begins to mature slightly, but are available on request.
**Waku** - *The ephemeral communication layer.*
The first two client implementations will be written in Nim and Rust. The same team developing [Nimbus](https://nimbus.team/) one of the leading Ethereum Consensus Clients, will expand its resources to take on the Nim implementation once the first specification has been published.

**Codex** - *The storage layer.*
Codex is a decentralised storage protocol for durable information. Whilst p2p storage networks have been around for quite a long time, the lack of incentives, strong data availability, and persistence guarantees make these networks unsuitable for applications with moderate to high availability requirements. In other words, without reliability at the storage layer it is impossible to build other reliable applications on top of it.
Codex aims to solve this by supplying an incentivized p2p storage network with strong availability and persistence guarantees, and a resource restricted friendly protocol that can endure higher levels of churn and large amounts of ephemeral devices. Codex has a working Proof-of-Concept.

## Our Development Process
We aim to create this technology stack out in the open, and as public goods. Check out the [process](./process) section to learn more about how we aim to do that.

Logos is not yet in production across every protocol in its stack. A number of research and engineering problems remain. We have no disillusions to the magnitude of the undertaking, and the work still ahead of us. We invite anyone who is serious about contributing research or to its code-base to join the community and get involved.

# Waku
Waku is the communications layer of Web3: decentralized, private, secure.
It was born from Whisper, the communications layer introduced with Ethereum. After Whisper was adopted by Status as its communications layer for private and secure chat, it became clear the protocol needed additional development resources to scale how many messages the network could handle, as well as how efficiently the underlying nodes processed indivitual messages (particularly for resource restricted devices like mobile phones).
Waku is the result of that allocation of resources, resulting in a more modular, extensible, efficient, and scalable suite of protocols for general purpose, secure, private, decentralized message passing.
Go to the [Waku](https://waku.org) to learn more about how it works, how you can integrate one of the many libraries into your application, or how to contribute to the protocol itself!
