Vac (now Logos Research)
In 2019 I founded Vac,
now Logos Research, an R&D org building public good protocols
for the decentralized web, with a focus on privacy and
communication. In 2023 I left the project. Since then it has
continued as Logos Research with 20+ contributors, supported by IFT.
As part of Vac, we created Waku, now Logos
Messaging, Zerokit,
and wrote many protocol specifications. Here
are some relevant links:
