Last month was certainly a busy one for our team, but there was one announcement that led the way.

Careful readers would have noticed that Waku is now called Logos Messaging. This is part of a coordinated unification of the Logos technology stack under a single identity for clarified purpose.

We continue to build the tools to deliver scalable, reliable, and privacy-preserving p2p communication. Only now, our work is more clearly part of a broader vision and movement to restore digital freedom and rebuild civil society.

We’ll cover more on what the shift to Logos Messaging means below.

In other news, we headed to Devconnect in November and hosted the P2P Privacy Hacker Lounge, all while continuing to make steady progress on protocol development.

Below are the highlights for Logos Messaging for November 2025.

Waku is now Logos Messaging

Formerly fragmented as Codex, Nomos, and Waku, the protocols that comprise the Logos tech stack are now unified under one identity: Logos. As part of this consolidation, we have begun the process of merging our websites, developer documentation, and community servers.

Going forward, Waku will be known as Logos Messaging. Our principles and open-source approach to development remain the same: our technology will continue to be available and designed for widespread use by any applications seeking privacy-preserving p2p communications.

We also welcome contributors to join the open-source Logos movement and contribute to building the tools that will shape the future of the society and deliver digital sovereignty.

For more information on Logos and a look at our new identity, head to the Logos website.

Expect things to become simpler, clearer, and more accessible as we distil our identity and purpose.

Those looking to get involved with the Logos movement can join our Discord, and for now, developers building on our technology can continue to find the information they need on our documentation website.

Technical Updates

Service incentivisation and RLN testnet

November centred on alignment across teams following the Budapest offsite, with renewed coordination on service incentivisation design and payment protocol strategy. Sessions explored architecture choices, pseudonymous payments, and how incentivisation fits within the Logos direction.

On the RLN side, work continued on browser-based credential workflows through zerokit, with documentation for the RLN membership registration portal now under way. Discovery work also progressed, with discussions around a DHT and metastable networks for improved peer finding.

Reliability, Status, and Chat SDK

End-to-end reliability moved forward again this month. SDS integration in status-go reached green continuous integration, clearing the path for the first merge and the addition of proper logic for SDS usage. Status Desktop was also validated running with libwaku on Windows, supported by new build work for the libwaku dependency.

The Chat SDK saw continued refinement of its cryptographic foundations: Noise examples were implemented, Discussions were held on key storage and database passing patterns, as well as on integration with the Status backend. Cleanup continued with Double Ratchet scaffolding and an initial draft of Ratcheting Private Identifiers was produced. De-MLS architecture was also reviewed for the Chat SDK security model.

Developer experience and web applications

Developer experience remained a strong focus. The API advanced across browser and nwaku implementations, with local development environment docs published and further work on defining and implementing the Send and Health APIs ongoing. The team also discussed integrating WebRTC for low-latency meshes in browser environments and hosted deep-dive sessions at the offsite that explored API standardisations across implementations.

On the application side, OpChan added anonymous engagement and simplified its stack, Qaku continued preparations for large-scale dogfooding, and integration of Logos Storage into Status Desktop was explored for archival capabilities. Work also progressed on using RPC-as-a-Service as a fallback mechanism for service nodes.

Mixnet, infrastructure, and strategic initiatives

Mixnet work continued with research updates shared at the offsite and progress on improved discovery mechanisms for mix nodes. Broader infrastructure efforts included validating that Status Desktop can run on Windows and nwaku, cleaning up issues across repositories, and making improvements to metrics and payload handling.

November delivered fresh SDK and Core releases for the TypeScript implementation of our protocol, along with a general cleanup across nwaku, js-waku, and chat-sdk repositories.

During the strategic discussions around Logos at the offsite, we held an open discussion on product strategy and go-to-market plans, and hosted a presentation on engineering practices to establish standards across the broader team.

Devconnect 2025 and the P2P Privacy Hacker Lounge

In November, Logos hosted the P2P Privacy Hacker Lounge, an interactive event that blended learning, casual hacking, networking, and open discussions.

The event was hosted alongside Devconnect 2025 on November 22 in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Speakers included James Campbell from Threshold / TACo, Ameen from 0xbow/Privacy Pools, Oleksandr Kurbatov from DistributedLab, and Max Hampshire from Nym.

Hacking zones, demos, lightning talks, and workshops all featured at the event, alongside vibe coding sessions, networking, and a closing talk by the co-founder of Logos - Jarrad Hope.

Logos also appeared at several other events around Devconnect, with Jarrad Hope unveiling Logos’s new identity at Funding the Commons Buenos Aires 2025 and Ethereum Cypherpunk Congress.

We will be posting clips and recordings from Devconnect soon, so stay tuned to our socials!

Live coding and RealFi Hackathon demos

We have continued to host live coding sessions that experiment with use cases and build on the Logos tech stack.

These sessions are livestreamed on the Logos YouTube channel and included guests from within Logos and others interested in building with scalable and reliable p2p comms.

Last month, we featured demonstrations from the recent RealFi Hackathon, where Logos sponsored two tracks focused on building privacy-preserving tools: the Resilient Activist Technology and Logos x Tor Privacy infrastructure tracks.

You can find the recordings of these sessions below:

Logos Circles and events

In addition to a busy schedule around Devconnect, the Logos team was active across numerous Logos Circles meetups last month, mixing with contributors from sister projects and newcomers eager to take part in the growing movement.

13 cities hosted Circles in total last month, showcasing the global reach of the Logos movement and the sustainability of our community-driven propagation.
