The Legacy of Zuzalu: One Year Later
Can the ephemeral city experiment inspired by Vitalik live on?
One year ago this week, our very own David Hoffman shared details about his experience living with some of crypto’s brightest minds in the ephemeral city called Zuzalu.
This popup city housed over 200 people from diverse regions and fields for two months. David conducted a number of interviews with fellow attendees during this time on topics spanning zero-knowledge proofs, longevity and biotech, network states, and public goods. You can check out those conversations below.
Inspired and initiated by Vitalik Buterin, Zuzalu blended structure and spontaneity to construct a successful experiment, but almost immediately after the ephemeral city dispersed, attendees wondered how they could keep the fire of Zuzalu alive and continue to offer places for the ethos of Ethereum to connect with disparate emerging technologies.
