# Research focus
Logos Research conducts innovative exploration within the Logos ecosystem and wider IFT.
Embedded within R&D service units, we ensure the work remains practical and relevant to Logos and the IFT.
Rather than focusing on academic publications, we aim to actively bridge theory and practice.
Logos Research collaborates with IFT projects to implement our research findings,
and identifies and initiates new incubator projects,
translating our research into real-world applications.

Logos Research spans multiple R&D service units, primarily ACZ and P2P.
Key focus areas of Logos Research include zero-knowledge proofs (ZKP) and their applications, libp2p gossipsub improvements, and anonymisation networks.
By maintaining close ties with various Logos and IFT teams, we drive innovation and practical advancements across the projects we work with.
In the realm of ZKP, Logos Research has made contributions that have given rise to the [incubator project](/vips) Logos Execution Environment.
