We envision rabbit holes like creating digital organizations based on real-life experiences, and a game engine may surface as we continue our experiments.\n\n# Soulbound Expeditions x Zu, a word by [@Kosmostasis](https://t.me/kosmostasis)\n\nThe concept of this technology has been floating around my mind for a couple of years.  It consolidated after I managed to destroy a Fitbit during a six am cold plunge in Kotor Bay while running a small test on myself during a long celebration at Zu in Montenegro. At Zu in Istanbul, I convinced my friend Celin to test some ideas using her company’s clinical research device, the SmarKo. We won a couple of accolades at ZuHack and our research has since expanded, with her focused on the health aspects and my personal research focusing on experiential settings, interoperability with other wearables/attestations, and neural annealing.\n\n![LIOS Labs' Desert Transformation Lab](https://www.goethe.de/resources/files/jpg1297/5_oasis2021-formatkey-jpg-w983.jpg)\n\nEarlier this month, I spent 11 days camping in the Błędowska Desert in Poland at [LIOS Labs’ Desert Transformation Lab](https://experience.lios.io/) (hosted by a Zu Montenegro attendee) where I ran another experiment capturing my vital signs while also capturing the humidity and temperature of the desert environment. While the tech isn’t fully ready yet, we are now confident to start running more ambitious experiments alongside Zu-themed events where participants can meaningfully spend time in nature while pondering and shaping the future of coexistence.\n\n# Roadmap Draft\n\nLate July\n\n- New SmarKo devices ready\n- Small test in Venezuela (pending availability)\n\nAugust – September (smol batch pilots with prototype devices)\n\n- Test during ZuVillage (TBC)\n- Test during Zuiterland\n- Test during ZuBled (TBC)\n- Brand & Community Development\n- Work/code on mintable (bio) moments platform\n\nOctober – November\n\n- Community-signal-driven pilots in Asia (with more devices/participants)\n\nDecember – January\n\n- Soft launch at Ayllu alongside a Soulbound Expedition to Mount Roraima\n\n---\n\n**Find us [@soulboundexpeditions](https://t.me/soulboundexpeditions)**", "lastUpdated": 0}, "recipient": "0x93c0270187388f2836eFACcd65367D70C2E07c45"}}
