Case Study
Case Study: Status
Status is a decentralised super app designed for privacy and security. The open-source application uses Logos Messaging to provide private and decentralised messaging, group chats, and Communities.
Messaging
Decentralised peer-to-peer communication built for privacy and resilience.
Key Repositories:
Logos-delivery — Peer-to-peer transport layer with spam protection.
logos-chat — Library for private, end-to-end encrypted p2p chat.
Current Status
Logos Messaging comprises two modules – Delivery and Chat – and has an active developer community with SDK implementations in several languages. It powers messaging in the Status application and is integrated into testnet.
Overview
Logos Messaging provides the messaging layer for the Logos stack, letting applications send messages, relay data, and coordinate without relying on centralised servers or exposing metadata to surveillance.
It uses a peer-to-peer relay network in which messages propagate across nodes with no central broker, and it supports private one-to-one messaging, group messaging, and public broadcast channels.
Messages can be encrypted end-to-end, and the relay network is designed to resist traffic analysis, making it difficult for observers to determine who is communicating with whom.
Messaging
Delivery
A peer-to-peer messaging network with DoS protection via RLN (Rate Limiting Nullifiers). Any application can use it to send and receive messages over an open, censorship-resistant network.
Messaging
Messaging
Chat
A protocol and library that provides 1:1 and group conversations with end-to-end encryption using de-MLS - everything an application needs to add private chat without rolling its own protocol.

Technology Stack.
The Logos technology stack is a unified ecosystem of distinct modules. The entire stack is modular so developers can assemble their own desired stack with a different selection of modules.

User Modules
Anyone can build pluggable modules that can communicate with each other over the same infrastructure.
Networking:
Discovery, peering, and mixnet
This layer handles how Logos nodes find each other, establish connections, and communicate while preserving user privacy.
Logos runtime
A runtime that handles the essential primitives every application needs: loading modules, managing their lifecycles, and letting them talk directly to each other in a secure way.
