When a new organization embarks on its journey there are many exciting “firsts.” April has marked a number of firsts for us: it offered to us our first day in the office as well as the first working days of the remaining members of our founding team, Ava Chow and w0xlt. We’re so grateful to have both of these individuals on board and working towards our mission. At the end of April we’ll be publishing our first transparency report with more detail about the current and future focus of these contributors and our organization at large.

It’s been three months since we announced the launch of Localhost Research at TABConf 6.

For Localhost Research, TABConf 6 will retain a special place in our history. In the BitDevs Socratic Village at 10:30AM on Friday October 25th, we made our first public appearance. Of our team, Justin and Murch were present, alongside two of our board members, Mark Casey and Matt Corallo.

Where does our focus lie? As a new organization operating in an adversarial landscape, this is one of the key questions we must answer.

Every so often, an opportunity arises. One that captures your attention and draws you in. For us, the Localhost Research team, we have been lucky enough to find one of those opportunities.
