Raw Blame History

Why?

The world needs more humane technology, and environments that respect our freedom.

We stand at the dawn of a new era. Big Tech, big banks, and even public institutions are failing us. Trust in government and social institutions continue to fall. And for good reason - entrusting all of our personal data to these arbitrary entities on the internet, and all of our financial resources to faceless bureaucracies has proven a fundamentally flawed model.

For every day we see new security breaches, new attempts to force surveillance into law, new violations of our privacy, and new corruption scandals emerge. The surveillance state Leviathan appears to be only becoming stronger. But we needn't feel desolate.

Through advancements in cryptography and p2p software, theres a brighter future ahead. Were laying the foundation for the creation of a parallel set of institutions and services, that will run atop open source, peer-to-peer networks. We believe in building the future we want to live in, and conducting our lives using these systems will lead to a more peaceful, trustworthy 21st century.

Logos is an experiment to build a new society at the frontier - where people are free to express themselves, and peacefully explore and create. And we need your help.
