# Vac R&D Service Units
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Vac's R&D Service Units play a crucial role in supporting Logos projects within the Logos collective.
|
||
|
|
In addition to providing expertise, resources, and technical guidance,
|
||
|
|
they also develop software artifacts, such as [nim-libp2p](https://github.com/status-im/nim-libp2p),
|
||
|
|
which can be employed beyond Logos projects.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Token Economics
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Tokenomics R&D Service Unit is dedicated to designing custom tokens and crafting incentivization strategies for Logos projects.
|
||
|
|
Leveraging their expertise in decentralized economics and incentive design, the unit develops tailored token models that promote engagement and value creation.
|
||
|
|
Through close collaboration with project teams, they ensure that the tokenomics frameworks align with project objectives, while also incorporating the latest trends and best practices.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Distributed Systems Testing
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Distributed Systems Testing (DST) R&D Service Unit is responsible for developing distributed systems testing software,
|
||
|
|
such as [Wakurtosis](https://github.com/logos-co/wakurtosis).
|
||
|
|
Their primary objective is to assist Logos projects in understanding the scaling behavior of their nodes within larger networks.
|
||
|
|
By conducting thorough regression testing, this unit helps identify potential bottlenecks and performance issues,
|
||
|
|
ensuring the reliability and stability of the projects.
|
||
|
|
Their expertise in distributed systems testing enables Logos projects to deliver scalable and resilient solutions that can withstand the demands of real-world decentralized applications.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## P2P
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The P2P R&D Service Unit is a vital part of Vac, specializing in peer-to-peer (P2P) technologies.
|
||
|
|
They develop nim-libp2p, work on improving the [libp2p gossipsub](https://docs.libp2p.io/concepts/pubsub/overview/) protocol, and assisting projects with the integration of P2P network layers.
|
||
|
|
This unit collaborates closely with Vac's deep research team to conduct research aimed at enhancing libp2p gossipsub.
|
||
|
|
By focusing on advancing P2P technologies, they contribute to the overall improvement and efficiency of decentralized networks,
|
||
|
|
enabling seamless decentralized communication for the Logos collective and beyond.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Applied Cryptography & ZK
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Applied Cryptography & ZK R&D Service Unit focuses on cryptographic solutions and zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs.
|
||
|
|
They provide valuable assistance to Logos projects by offering expertise in employing ZK proofs and implementing cryptographic techniques.
|
||
|
|
This unit specializes in areas such as employing noise protocol channels and other cryptographic-related aspects.
|
||
|
|
By leveraging cutting-edge cryptographic technologies, they enhance the security, privacy, and trustworthiness of Logos projects,
|
||
|
|
contributing to the overall integrity and resilience of the decentralized web ecosystem.
