Blockchain provides a new institutional architecture, reshaping how societies coordinate, govern, and build trust at scale

Beyond finance, blockchain is changing how collective decisions are made and enforced. New forms of organisation are challenging traditional hierarchies and experimenting with more open governance models.

Surveillance begins before your transactions do. It begins in your browser.

Reclaiming agency in the digital panopticon

Even when content is encrypted, metadata reveals who we are, how we live, and how we behave. As artificial intelligence automates the analysis of these signals, freedom is constrained at scale.

Metadata in the Age of AI Inference 

Rethinking open-source infrastructure with Logos

This article explores why conventional state sharing fails, how replicated logs on Logos Blockchain offer a better approach, and how its channel architecture enables practical networked applications.

Decentralise the Log, Not the Server

Logos delivers anonymity for block proposers through its Private Proof-of-Stake (PPoS) consensus.

Private Proof-of-Stake allows block proposers to remain anonymous and unlinkable to their stake. This is achieved by combining two systems: Cryptarchia and Blend.

Federico Ast, Kleros: Decentralised Arbitration System

This week Jarrad Hope spoke to Jameson Lopp to discuss his decade-long effort to promote self-custody in Bitcoin by lowering technical barriers for users, emphasizing the fight against human nature's preference for convenience over security. Lopp traces his journey into Bitcoin and Cypherpunk ideology, highlighting the appeal of cryptography in creating open and fair systems resistant to manipulation. Both Lopp and Hope explore various technological solutions and the challenges inherent in privacy and decentralization, such as the pitfalls of centralization in legacy protocols and the need for vigilant, iterative improvements in Bitcoin. Finally, Lopp underscores the importance of evolving Bitcoin's base protocol to foster more innovation at the second layer, while maintaining the decentralized ethos of the network.
