We’re opening LP-0023: LEZ Program Registry, a new λPrize for the Logos ecosystem.
The problem
Right now, a LEZ program is just an opaque program ID on-chain. Nothing about that ID tells you what the program does, who wrote it, what its interface looks like, or whether the deployed bytecode matches any published source. Wallets can only render raw calldata. Block explorers can show a program ID and raw bytecode, but nothing that makes either one meaningful to a human. Every tool that needs this information ends up shipping its own hardcoded list, and those lists drift apart.
What we’re looking for
LP-0023 funds a program registry for the Logos Execution Zone (LEZ): a product that lets developers publish their deployed programs with human-readable metadata (name, version, author, description, tags) plus a pointer to their IDL and source code, and lets anyone browse, search, and verify those entries through a CLI, an SDK, and a Logos Core Module.
Metadata alone doesn’t solve this. Anyone can claim anything about a program. What matters is proving that a deployed program’s bytecode was built from the source it claims, the same trust model behind Solana’s verified-builds ecosystem and Etherscan source verification. That’s what lets a wallet show “verified, built from github.com/x/y at commit abc” right before a user signs a transaction.
Functional highlights:
- On-chain registry built with the SPEL framework, with source and IDLs stored off-chain on Logos Storage
- Deployer vs. third-party entries, cryptographically distinguishable
- Source verification: rebuild locally and confirm the bytecode matches
- Discovery by program ID, name, and author, with no centralized indexer required
New this time: adoption criteria
LP-0023 adds something the λPrize program hasn’t done before: explicit, evaluated adoption criteria on top of the functional requirements. A working registry isn’t enough on its own; we want to see it get used:
- 5 independent third-party Logos apps integrating the registry SDK
- 50 registered programs, from 20+ distinct authors, independent of the submitting team
- 20 entries with verified source claims that evaluators can independently rebuild
- Sustained registration activity, spread over at least 2 months, with at least 10 new registrations each month (no single burst)
- 20 testimonials on Discord and 20 on Twitter/X vouching for real usage
We’re rewarding submissions that build real traction in the ecosystem, not just code that passes a checklist. Builders are encouraged to ship early and grow adoption while continuing to develop, rather than treating build and adoption as separate phases.
Details
- Total prize: $2,000
- Evaluation: first-come-first-served against all success criteria; the first submission to meet everything wins

This registry is meant to be shared infrastructure for wallets, explorers, and developer tools across LEZ.
