This lead to a race to the bottom in the overall quality of the open discourse, questionable dynamics for collective decision-making processes and a cultural shift towards trivial aspects. \n\nIn order to provide a fitting platform for meaningful discussions, we focused on providing a healthy information ecology, with a high signal-to-noise ratio and a clear communication culture, that is insight-based – in parallel co-existence with an increasing number of telegram channels for the easy-going exchange of a single community, that is rather vibe-based.\n\nUpfollowing, we created a Shared Town Square to provide interoperability between ZuVillages in terms of exchange – allowing the individuals of diverse communities to exchange and identify their shared interests towards collective action. On Zuzagora, Villagers of\n\n## Current functions\nMain functions that create value for the Zuzalu Ecosystem:\n- An open and clear discussion culture both between Zuzaleans and between ZuVillages.\n- Decrease our dependence on voting for collective decision-making processes, by providing a quality-based foundation that allows for productive discourse.\n- Providing a platform for asynchronous intellectual cross-pollination both aside and during events.\n- Providing a platform for democratic processes to be auditable and transparent, building on discussion and in-depth understanding.\n- Providing the individuals from diverse ZuVillages with a shared space to exchange about their experiences and knowledge, which can fulfill a decentralized info-defense function.\n\n## Next Steps\nZuzagora started as a forum for thoughtful discussion, and as a way for Zuzaleans to keep exchanging points of view regardless of being on an event IRL. After Zuzalu got decentralized, it took a more prominent place, as there was no single Zuzalu town square besides the forum and Town Halls. \n\n### Supporting Zuzalu’s decentralization\nWe are working to help include all ZuVillages that pop up and are aligned with the initial Zuzalu. \n\n### Decentralizing invitaitions\nLastly, we are working on a technical solution to grow the ecosystem more organic through a decentralized invitation system, leveraging the concept of vouching and Web of Trust. \nFor this we are creating a client that relies on: \n- OpenRank for the rank calculation (EigenTrust, same as Farcaster)\n- Privy: Seamless login for non crypto-native users\n- EAS: Ethereum Attestation Service, to create onchain attestations\n- ZuPass: To create new credentials for users\n\n### Crecimiento\nWe created a standalone forum for the Crecimiento movement. Since it doesn’t need Zupass gating (for now at least) and the main language is in Spanish (it is targeting Argentinean population), we decided to support by creating a custom solution that fits their needs.", "hidden": false, "question": "How does your project create value for the Zuzalu ecosystem?
