Zuzalu Software is a coordinated effort among decentralized teams to build digital public goods. It is an initiative to build and test tools that innovative communities need for online and offline coordination.
Coalescing around the international Zuzalu movement with temporary and permanent pop-up experiments, we boost adoption for digital public goods in the Ethereum ecosystem among communities eager and willing to test innovative tools as they iterate.
With a commitment to decentralization, interoperability, privacy-first and open source software, Zuzalu Software aligns and incubates projects to build tools together.

Zuzalu.city is a decentralised open-source operating system that connects users to interoperable Ethereum ecosystem applications for innovating their communities.

Zuzalu.city was launched and tested as a permission-less shared calendar for all participants to self-organize programme in Montenegro in 2023 at Zuzalu, a 2-month experiment bringing together over 700 innovators including Ethereum researchers and developers, AI, longevity and biotech, European rationalists, and "tribes of the meta". In 2024, we entered the "Open Frontier" phase, focusing on creating a shared community-driven OS for technical project coordination and integration.

2024 Objectives & Tracks
We are building a decentralized operating system with open-source tools open for all communities to use for online and offline coordination, innovation, interoperability, and forking.
We are establishing a coordination system for builders of independent projects to collaborate and integrate modules into our operating system for widespread testing and adoption.
We are supporting emerging temporary and permanent crypto city movements and projects, recognizing the unique opportunity and need for these projects to communicate and coordinate using decentralized and privacy-first technology.

Development Base
• Establish a base team to initiate the groundwork and basic community experience for Zuzalu.city.
• Create processes that enable the broader community of developers to contribute and co-build with.
• Adopt an iterative approach for Zuzalu.city, focusing on improving and adding necessary functionality.
