Proposing “Speedrun Logos” - an educational initiative modeled after the successful Speedrun Ethereum course from Austin Griffith and buidlguidl. This program would provide a structured, challenge-based approach to onboarding developers to the Logos ecosystem through practical, hands-on learning experiences.
Background
Speedrun Ethereum has become a highly effective framework for teaching developers how to build on Ethereum. It uses a series of practical challenges that progressively build knowledge and skills, allowing developers to create real applications while learning fundamental concepts. The format has proven successful in growing the Ethereum developer ecosystem.
I believe the Logos Network could benefit from a similar approach. As a grassroots movement creating a self-sovereign network state built on modular Logos core protocols (Nomos, Codex, and Waku), Logos needs skilled developers who understand how to build on this stack.
Why Speedrun Logos?
- Accelerates learning - Developers learn best by doing. Completing concrete challenges creates rapid skill development.
- Creates community - Shared learning experiences build stronger communities.
- Demonstrates practical use cases - Shows real-world applications of the Logos stack.
- Lowers barriers to entry - Makes it easier for developers from other ecosystems to transition to Logos.
- Showcases unique capabilities - Highlights what makes Logos special compared to other tech stacks.
Timing
It might be the case that at the time of posting, the Logos core stack is not in a state where a complete course is possible to craft, but it would be useful to keep a program like this in mind as the tech progresses to maturity.

LogosLab is designed as a comprehensive learning experience that combines both hardware and software elements for teaching technology, programming, and the Logos stack. Speedrun Logos would probably be a purely educational initiative providing a challenge-based approach to onboarding developers specifically to the Logos ecosystem through practical learning experiences without the hardware component.
