Our seventh Barcelona Circle brought together a diverse group of people from across the Web3 ecosystem and beyond. While attendance was smaller than registrations suggested (39 RSVPs, 8 participants), it resulted in a focused and engaging discussion with plenty of room for everyone to contribute.
Location: Akasha Hub, Barcelona
Revisiting our previous ideas
We started by revisiting the potential “winnable issues” that had emerged from previous Circles. Among the ideas discussed were:
- On-chain food traceability.
- Community-driven neighborhood cleanups.
- Building a Solana-native equivalent of EthicHub.
- Recent developments around surveillance and online censorship in Europe.
Rather than jumping into new initiatives, we wanted to understand which of these ideas could realistically become a recurring community effort.
A diverse mix of perspectives
One of the highlights of this Circle was the variety of backgrounds represented. Participants came from different ecosystems and industries, including Rootstock, Zcash, Superform, the pharmaceutical sector, and several people attending their first Web3 meetup.
This diversity enriched the conversations, allowing technical discussions to intersect with real-world use cases and newcomers’ questions.
Privacy as a common concern
As discussions evolved, two themes consistently resurfaced: on-chain traceability and digital privacy.
Participants explored how transparency and privacy can coexist, discussed current concerns around increasing surveillance, and considered opportunities to collaborate on beginner-friendly workshops focused on privacy technologies and digital sovereignty.
There was also genuine curiosity about the broader Logos vision. Several attendees wanted to learn more about the project itself, the ideas presented in Farewell to Westphalia, and how to participate by running nodes on the Logos testnet.
A clear direction
By the end of the evening, one proposal stood out as both achievable and valuable for the local community: organizing a recurring series of workshops introducing the fundamentals of digital privacy, self-sovereignty, and online freedom.
Rather than focusing on highly technical topics from the outset, the group agreed that creating an accessible educational space—potentially together with partner communities—would be a practical “winnable issue” while helping new people discover both Logos and the broader decentralized ecosystem.
We’re looking forward to building on this momentum in the next Barcelona Circle.
