What is Zuzalu, exactly? ... At its core, Zuzalu is a public good community, a pop-up city, a playground for cross-pollination experiments, a debating ground for exciting topics, a testing space for Ethereum-based technology, and a hub for futuristic-sounding disciplines such as longevity, synthetic biology, network states, and more. One thing we can guarantee is that Zuzalu is a magical community where real innovation and transformations happen. You will get future-pilled here."

"Zuzalu convened a group in-person for the first time in Montenegro from March 25th to May 25th, 2023. It was comprised of 200 core residents and a rotation of weekly visitors who came together with a shared desire to learn, create, live longer and healthier lives, and build self-sustaining communities.
Zuzalu’s next major popup event was ZuConnect, which took place in Istanbul from October 29th to November 11th, 2023. ZuConnect was a two-week popup village that takes place right before DevConnect, a major Ethereum event. About 300 full time residents participated, with an additional 100+ participants joining for a part of the journey."
