Social Layer
Social Layer is a turn-key modular social infrastructure to help design, scale, sustain and connect pop-up cities, intentional communities, and cultural hubs worldwide.

Check our community coordination app here: https://app.sola.day



### **Mission:**

- **Growing Conditional Social Trust**
    
    By recording and establishing the **web of trust and collaboration**, linking a variety of communities with different cultures, Social Layer can help people **remain connected while collaborate with different society prototypes**.
    ![01_Conditional Trust](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/H1myc6eu0.png)

    
- **Bottom-up Community Curation**
    
    The communities we serve create great containers that encourage collaborations and opportunities to spark new ideas. We created coordination tools that enable this culture of "initiator" to flourish.
    ![02_Community Curration](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/HJ_g2pxd0.png)

    
    
- **Interconnect Communities to Build Network Societies**
    
    By bringing our tools to multiple pop-up cities and permanent communities, we’re able to create greater interconnections between communities so they can share their networks, cross pollinate and evolve into a greater large scale society composed of entangled local communities.
    ![03_.Socio-technical Transition](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/SyrX26guR.png)

   
    
- **Rigorous 3rd Party Integration + Interoperability**
    
    We actively integrate from other 3rd party platforms such as ZuPass. We collaborate with a range of protocols that are building for the permissionless decentralized internet. We believe trusting communities need to be enabled by trusting technologies built to enable sharing and transparency.
    ![04_Social Infra](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/B1gS2Tx_A.png)

  

With the support of these communities, we have begun our product iterations journey of "Build within communities".

![Integration](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/S1jcgyZuR.png)

![06_Gamification](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/SJivyJWuA.png)


### **Features:**

- **Trust and Connection**: Our platform fosters both bonding ties within communities and bridging ties between diverse groups. We utilize a web of trust system powered by social tokens and badges, enabling users to build and carry their social reputation across different communities.
- **Real-World Application**: With successful implementations in Zuzalu-inspired pop-up cities like Edge Esmeralda, Vitalia, ZuConnect, ShanhaiWoo, Zanzalu, Wamotopia, we demonstrate the versatility and impact of our infrastructure. We have been actively integrating community feedbacks at these events, iterating our design by building deep relationships with our users.
- **Modular Infrastructure**: We provide a comprehensive framework that includes identity management, community coordination tools, event organization, and social credentialing. This ensures seamless integration and scalability for any community model.
- **Data Portability and Ownership**: Individuals retain control over their data, ensuring portability and ownership, which is critical in maintaining privacy and fostering trust in a decentralized ecosystem.
- **Open Source Protocols:** We built tools and protocols that are all open source, we are actively creating autonomous pipelines for more collaborators to contribute together to Social Layer.

### **Next Steps:**

- **Native Ticketing with USDT**
    
    Integrating ticketing with USDT natively on the Social Layer app.
    
- **Q3-Q4 2024 Pop-up Cities & Unconferences**
    
    Bringing Social Layer to more pop-up cities and unconferences, such as Crecimiento, Gathering of Tribes, Builder Monastery, Edge City Lanna, Devcon side events, Zulandia, Zuindia and more on the way…
    
- **Composable & Opensource App**
    
    Turning Social Layer into a composable & opensource app for easier access to community events and a better UX experience, curate deeper integration with other projects of the Zuzalu ecosystem.
    
- **CitizenHub**
    
    A place for Social Layer users to track events they went to, keep consistent information, have easier access & application process to future events, integrate with other DID services.
