As such, we have no outside funding as of right now. Instead we have invested in growing our partners in the accommodation space. \n\nCriteria #3: Tech must somehow create value to the Zuzalu ecosystem.\n\n> There are a number of ways that ZuForever can create value for the Zuzalu ecosystem. First of all, community and coliving are integral parts of the Zuzalu experience, hence the longer duration periods and focus on living in close proximity to each other during previous Zuzalu pop-up villages. ZuForever makes this process seamless for Zuzalians and other community members.\n\n> Through co-living, ZuForever connects and democratizes resources, people and experiences by allowing Zuzalians to attend Ethereum-focused conferences alongside their peers and through cost-effective and flexible accommodations options, providing Zuzalians a sanctuary, everywhere and anywhere that Ethereum conferences take place. \n\n> Workshops, gatherings and co-living segmentation can help propel the impact of these attendees in providing value to the broader Ethereum ecosystem by, for example, formulating hackathon teams that are committed to bringing their ideas into reality. \n\n> In addition, ZuForever allows its members to book their accommodations in a tokenized manner and at ever-decreasing discount rates. This allows early stakeholders to book their accommodations ahead of time and re-sell them at a higher price if they ultimately cannot attend these events. This flexibility is not available through traditional web2 accommodation options.\n\n> Last but not least, through the dVillage experiment at EthCC 2024, the members of the core ZuForever team have proven that creating a broader co-living option through ZuForever can allows us to raise sponsorships and cover the cost of accommodation for underprivileged Ethereum community members that usually cannot attend Ethereum and Zuzalu conferences. At EthCC 2023, over 50 people were able to attend and stay in Paris for free, all because of the now-proven co-living offering. \n\nCriteria #4: Blockchain-facing tech must be maximally compatible with Ethereum and common Ethereum ecosystem standards.\n\n> ZuForever will build its DAO entirely on EMV-compatible chains, for example a layer 2 like Optimism, and will ensure that the end-all software developed is open-sourced and maximally compatible with Ethereum.\n\n> The DAO will be only the inaugural tools used to create a community of people that will be dedicated to developing an open source software solution to make this experience as seamless as possible. The software needs will include building out the property and event selection options, converting and submitting on-chain payments to associated service providers, and enhancing the user experience for the ZuForever userbase.  At present, the ZuForever team is focusing on building the community and necessary DAO tooling, performing the PoC in EthCC and collect user experience needs, and designing the long term software development roadmap for the project. \n\nCriteria #5: Technology projects must be fully open-source, relevant to the needs of in-person Zuzalu events.\n\n> The ZuForever DAO will be on EVM, hence it will be open source by nature. The PoC will be more manual, ensuring that we understand the tech needs for the project in the first half of 2024, before committing technical resources into building a platform that can automate this offering to the broader Zuzalu and Ethereum ecosystems. \n\n> That said, during Q1 and Q2, the project will outline its complete software development roadmap for an open-source software tool that will be used to select property and accommodation options for ZuForever users, and convert on-chain funds to accommodation payments. This, alongside the DAO governance of the project, will ensure ZuForever remains open source. ", "hidden": false, "question": "Please explain how your project meets the round-specific eligibility criteria. ", "questionId": 4}, {"type": "paragraph", "answer": "> There are a few ways that ZuForever measures the impact of this project. First, through its monetary criteria. By allowing us to utilize economies of scale and ample time, we offer Zuzalians accessibility to top-tier accommodation offers. Money saved is a core metric for this.\n\nIn addition, by allowing these economies of scale to work in our favor, we also provide additional, and much needed, accessibility to underprivileged members of the community through ecosystem funded scholarships. Through our partner dVillage, we have proven that we can support underprivileged members of the broader Ethereum community by facilitating sponsorship and scholarships covered by partner DAOs and Protocols, providing such community members ZuForever accommodation options for free! Scholarships, therefore, are a key impact metric for us.\n\nFurthermore, we seek to ensure that long lasting relationships are built, and that our community members participate in conference-associated hackathons, and push to continue moving their projects forward, especially for teams that have gained hackathon awards and recognition. Post-hackathon metrics are also important metrics for us.  \n\nLastly, ZuForever will be hosting tailored workshops for team participants within their living stations, and we will be calculating attendance as a metric of success. Getting our community members the access they need is important to ZuForever\u2019s mission, and, as such, workshop attendance is also an important metric for us to track.  \n\nUltimately, some of our impact will be immeasurable, yet important. Recruitment of new community members into the Web3 and Ethereum ecosystems is hard to measure, as are jobs and hiring opportunities that get covered through ZuForever\u2019s activities. We will continue to hone into our preferred metrics, seeking to find the most effective truth for the long term success of the ZuForever DAO.\n\nIn short, our metrics are: \n- Money Saved\n- Community Members \n- Requests for Accomodations\n- Hackathon Teams\n- Hackathon Team Winnings\n- Hackathon Team - Post Event Tractions (Fundraising, - TVL, Number of Contributors)\n- Attendees to ZuForever Workshops and Gatherings\n- Non-Web3 Community Members recruited.\n", "hidden": false, "question": "How do you measure the impact of your project?

We\u2019ve created a proto-whitepaper which we link here, that expands on the project\u2019s long term thinking, and we will continue to curve our idea as we build out our community and test our offerings at EthCC.\n\nUltimately, the core team has already build out partnerships with key stakeholders that will allow us to offer co-living options to over 50 people in Brussels during EthCC at a rate of between 70-80 Euros a night to stay in bespoke, high-quality properties that can help propel the culture aspired by Zuzalu and Zuzalians forward. This price, as compared to the estimated 120-140 Euro a night accommodation costs that they would have to incur by themselves, is not only more affordable but it can help build long lasting teams that have a direct impact on Ethereum as a whole. \n\nImportant links: \n\n> Proto-Whitepaper: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UMIAvX5TRB3FI5GtwL9PCorZaT8mtiBafR-y2F7gbS0/edit?usp=sharing\n\n> dVillage Information: https://nas.io/dvillage \n\n> SweetInn Accommodations Partner: https://www.sweetinn.com/brussels \n\n> ZuForever Application to stay at EthCC Co-living Project: https://forms.gle/4TSxbkGHPmRoBaWh7 \n\n> ZuForever Telegram Group: https://t.me/zuforever \n", "hidden": false, "question": "Anything else you'd like to share about your project, previous work, or other project affiliations?", "questionId": 11}, {"type": "paragraph", "answer": "> ZuForever can bring the community together, organically and around the world, while allowing Zuzalians to both save and make money through Tokenized Accommodation options. \n\nZuForever also creates a productivity and talent scouting vehicle, exposing Zuzalu to a wider audience, and recruiting new members that are aligned to the new culture that is being developed in our official pop-up city events. \n\nIn short, it is a key tool that solidifies the Zuzalu culture while making revenues.
