  • U6. The Logos Core demo chat app discovers mix nodes using libp2p kad-dht discovery with filtering

Notes:

This deliverable is aimed for inclusion in the Logos testnet in Feb 2026. It showcases basic publishing over mix for Logos Core, and building mix paths using libp2p kad-dht as underlying discovery mechanism. Sybil and DoS protection is out of scope for this deployment.

Publish Mix roadmap for other Logos use cases

Owner: AnonComms Mix

This should consider e.g. Logos Storage, Blend, and other use cases to establish the priority of, amongst others:

  1. Introducing circuits for higher throughput, interactive protocols
  2. Introducing multiple mix layers for multiple packet sizes
  3. Generating cover traffic
  4. Achieving service/receiver anonymity, e.g. via Tor-like “rendezvous” points
  5. Incentivised mix participation etc.
