Volunteer position: Logos Circles Technical Steward

Logos is a movement supporting the development of the decentralised web. Logos technologies lay the foundations for a freer internet upon which communities can evolve into network states. Each protocol in the Logos stack seeks to empower its users while upholding civil liberties and fundamental freedoms.

Circles initiative

Logos Circles are self-organised groups that take action to solve issues that matter locally. They are a form of parallel governance: instead of reforming broken or rigged institutions, they build better ones that live on or are sustained by the network. Circles respond to local needs, build trust on the ground through solving problems, and experiment with real-world applications of Logos tech and values.

Upcoming circles near you.
