Our journey continues with Zuzalu.city, providing an online space to build tools for Zuzalu software and empower communities.   \nAs we embark on this new journey, our primary goal is to cultivate a thriving community space that fosters collective collaboration. Zuzalu.city is more than a solution; it’s a catalyst for diverse initiatives and spin-off communities within and around Zuzalu.   \nTo achieve this, we are building open-source tools that empower everyone in our community. Coordinate builders in the community to build towards application experiences and tools both for/and independent of Zuzalu.city.   \n##    \n## Vision & Principles:   \nOur vision for Zuzalu software development is guided by five fundamental principles: Privacy, Ease-of-Use, Modularity, Composability, and Interoperability. These principles form the bedrock of our commitment to creating an online environment that is secure, user-friendly, flexible, customizable, and seamlessly interconnected.   \n### Definitions of principles:   \n- Privacy - Ensuring user data is private and in the control of users. Using privacy tech like ZKPs.   \n- Ease-of-Use - Focusing on spin-offs among other communities to be able to run their own sets of tools without deep technical knowledge.   \n- Modularity - Broken down independent modules and components each with their own attributes and functionality. This is to create more flexibility and be adapted to the needs of any given community.   \n- Composability - to be able to integrate a combination of various modules/primitives to create a customized, larger system.   \n- Interoperability - allows different systems or apps to interact and exchange data between them seamlessly.   \n   \n##    \n## Objective & Progress Update:   \n### Building Together:   \nZuzalu.city stands as a vibrant hub where collaboration thrives. Over 100 builders from various projects have joined forces, bringing their unique perspectives and skills to contribute to the Zuzalu ecosystem.   \nThe primary focus is to underscore interoperability between Zuzalu.city and various tools, ensuring seamless integration. A robust coordination process will be established, empowering community members to actively contribute and develop missing modules and components. This diverse group of contributors embodies the collaborative spirit that fuels our mission.   \n   \n*Invitations will be extended to [Element](https://explorer.gitcoin.co/[https://www.guilded.gg/r/zzME2L6mXR?i=d8D1Y90d](https://www.guilded.gg/r/zzME2L6mXR?i=d8D1Y90d)), enhancing community engagement with a focus on fostering meaningful and high-quality interactions.*   \n### Current List of Contributors   \n[Zuzalu Software Contributors](https://zu-builders.framer.website/),   \n###    \n### Progress Update:   \n- Zuzalu City is nearing its Alpha release, beginning with ZuVillage as the first community space and event in the app.    \n- Working with both Ceramic and OrbisDB teams, we've built much of the structure of the app on Ceramic. We are also making a shift to move from ComposeDB to OrbisDB for built-in functionality such as Gating and encryption via Lit Protocol.    \n- We have also built a full ticketing system working with Scroll team by designing and implement the smart contracts of scrollpass into the flow in addition to minting tickets for attendees. This will be launched soon after alpha is deployed.    \n- We are also working with other projects like LottoPGF, Blockful, streameth among a few others on testing their app directly on ZuCity and working towards integrating as an app within the structure of events and for community spaces. In addition to projects like Akasha + urbe.eth on decentralised social.

Coordinate builders in the community to build towards application experiences and tools both for and independent of the app. We also need to build a basis for an engineering environment to create a better process for a whole community of developers to contribute/co-build with us.   \n### More planned native features for an app experience:   \n- A social system with feeds, posts, etc.   \n- Improve event modules and implement additions i.e. side-events, ticketing, improve user experience.   \n- Expand on Community Spaces that can be customized with different native modules like events, messaging, and posts.   \n- Coordinate builders to hack features needed and integrate with exsiting projects to be in the Zuzalu Tech Stack.   \n   \n##    \n## Build with us!   \nWe eagerly await enthusiastic members to join forces with existing community builders, and contribute and take on challenges together. Here are at least three ways to get involved:   \n1. Co-build Shape the OS and build tools.   \n2. Module/Plug-in/Extension Integrate tools into the toolkit.   \n3.
