// expedition log — Oct 31 to Nov 8, 2026

Five events, one expedition

Rather than treating each event independently, we're using the full stretch as one continuous libp2p expedition period. Each stop carries a different thread of the same mission: decentralized networking, security, privacy, interoperability, and AI-agent infrastructure.
