This research exploration is dedicated to researching, planning and solving the effective decentralization of the ZuForever platform. In this sense, the research will go through the discovery and design phase of the protocol, review the operational needs of co-living offerings, and propose future token allocations for all these services, plus quality controls for said operations. 

ZuForever’s current tokenomic proposals are: 

V0 - ZuForever at EthCC and DevCon (Manual): 

The current MVP of ZuForever is based on NFTs, with no governance token, and with manual booking and room delegation. This version has been in use since 2023 and EthCC Paris, where one of the co-founders, Suheil Zoabi,  of the project set up and ran dVillage (Twitter: https://twitter.com/DVillage_Hauz), a proof of concept that allowed over 50 people to stay in Paris for 10 days for free. 


V1 - ZuForever NFTs, Reselling and Staking:

The upcoming V1 allows for additional implementations, where the NFTs are directly tied to available rooms, there is a staking pool that allows for people to confirm their attendance, as well as a lean onboarding and KYC process to ensure that all members staying at the ZuForever house stay safe. 


V2 - ZuForever Governance, Operational Delegation and Booking API”

ZuForever v2 aims to explore decentralized governance, airdropping a token to all involved stakeholders and pushing for decentralized organization of multiple, concurrent hacker houses, all using the purchasing power of the ZuForever treasury while providing more dynamic and accurate interest segmentations. 


V3 - ZuForever Property Ownership Roadmap: 

Once there is a permanent demand for ZuForever, the permanent purchase of buildings in selected metropolises will allow for a continuous, 24/7, 365 offering for anyone that is part of the community. In this stage, accommodations will be paid, at least in part, with ZuForever Governance tokens, removing them from supply and creating a circular economy, where actions in one location can quarante your accommodations elsewhere. 

The proper transition through v0 and onto v3, as well as the alignment of incentives for all stakeholders, from community and housing organizers, to accommodation and service providers, are all in the scope of this research proposal. 

Measuring the success of this workstream will be done through two methods: 

The creation of a concrete token economic proposal that will be reviewed by the ZuForever community. If this is approved by the community, we know this is a success.

The creation of a simulation model and governance structure proposal, for each timeframe in the proposal.
