These spaces are more than just physical locations; they are vibrant hubs where the boundary between digital innovation and real-world interaction dissolves. By leveraging the principles of a distributed network, each Zo House serves as a beacon for the web3-curious, fostering environments where ideas flourish and collaborations form naturally.\n\nWe have 2 Zo Houses in India - BLRxZo and WTFxZo\n\nOur spaces are more than just physical locations; they are environments where ideas flourish and collaborations form naturally. By nurturing local Web3 builders, we aim to contribute significantly to the growth and development of the Ethereum ecosystem in Asia.\n\n## What we do to empower builders?\n\n## Objectives\n\nZo House aims to Inspire and empower Web3 builders by hosting a series of activations, including workshops, hackathons/hacker houses, and community events, to encourage and support Web3 builders in India.\n\n1.
