We received a sum of funds are being used to kick-off the structure and advance the milestones as possible. We continue to seek additional funding to host an even larger and more comprehensive event.\n\n### **Background:**\n\nBrazil is the largest country in Latin America and South America, alongside great nations teeming with builders like Colombia, Argentina, Venezuela, and many others. However, Brazil still lacks a major gathering that aligns with Ethereum's values and can provide a comprehensive experience, from co-living and the main conference to talks and local experiences. Since 2023, ETH Samba has done an excellent job promoting hackathons and uniting the community. For this reason, we will invite them to organize the hackathon segment of ETH Floripa during ZuFloripa.\n![image](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/S1lsHaSu0.png)\n\n[https://x.com/DeFiDave22/status/1812421026669625715](https://x.com/DeFiDave22/status/1812421026669625715)\n\n**Florianópolis is the safest capital in Brazil** and boasts an **extremely strong web3 community of builders,** with nearly monthly events ranging from technical meetups to Pizza Day. The Blockful team, responsible for initiating this event, participates in various ETH conferences worldwide and has noticed a **pent-up demand for an event like this in Brazil**. Hence, we are spearheading this unique initiative with a **primary focus on governance**.\n\n**The Island of Magic will become the Island of Governance.**\n\n![Untitled](https://i.imgur.com/GKMgYVf.png)\n\n### What is ZuFloripa?\n\nA three-week unconference that will gather, on an island in Brazil known as the Island of Magic, the most relevant topics on governance, human coordination, privacy science, and ZK technology.\n\n![Untitled](https://i.imgur.com/U8EsLWq.png)\n\n### Event Agenda:\n\n**First Week:**\n\n- **Hackathon:** We will invite ETH Samba to join us in this initiative. ETH Samba has already hosted two Hackathon editions in Brazil with major partners like Chainlink, Scroll, ENS, and many others.\n- **ETH Floripa:** A conference at the beginning of February serving as the entry point for all builders, featuring talks, panels, networking, and local experiences.\n\n[Blockful team @ ETH Samba 2024 (YouTube)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cP9r7aQbaw)\n\n\n**Second Week:**\n\n- **Governance Week:** A week focused on co-living spaces with human bonding experiences. It will include events in various locations with different themes, allowing everyone to participate in dynamics, discussion circles, product presentations, and governance-oriented experiences.\n    - Collective Sense-Making\n    - Reputation\n    - Human Coordination and Anthropological Knowledge\n    - AI and Governance\n    - Current State of DAO Governance\n\n![Untitled](https://i.imgur.com/Ynp5Upv.png)\n\n**Third Week:**\n\n- **ZK and Privacy:** A time for those interested in ZK and privacy to delve into these topics, including technical discussions, talks on the current state of the technology, and existing and needed use cases.\n    - Current State of the Technology\n    - ZK and Reputation\n    - Privacy as a Premise\n    \n    ![Untitled](https://i.imgur.com/oGh5i69.png)\n    \n\nDaniela and Zeugh (Blockful's Product Managers) building on Governance @ Arb GovHack 2024\n\n- **DeSci Time:** The final week of ZuFloripa will also cover DeSci, featuring presentations of scientific papers and research on longevity, women's health, and science funding through decentralized means.\n    - Ongoing Researches\n    - Science-Focused DAOs\n    - Scientific and Academic Discussions\n\n![Untitled](https://i.imgur.com/Dza1NgZ.png)\n\nOur ED talking about his experiences with the Zuzalu community @ DeSci Belgrade 2024\n\n### Why ETH Floripa | ZuFloripa?\n\nThese events bring together the shared values of Florianópolis, the Ethereum, and the Zuzalu community. Floripas' strong sense of community and innovation aligns with Ethereum's focus on collaboration and collective problem-solving. **ZuFloripa creates an environment for meaningful connections and groundbreaking initiatives.**\n\nGovernance and human coordination are key themes, featuring sessions on decentralized governance, collective decision-making, and reputation systems. The local emphasis on participatory governance complements Ethereum's decentralized models and DAOs.\n\nPrivacy and security are crucial, especially with the rise of Zero-Knowledge (ZK) technology. The city's tech community shares this commitment, making it an ideal place for in-depth discussions on governance, ZK, privacy, and science. \n\nAdditionally, Floripa's rich cultural diversity and inclusive tech scene guarantee that diverse voices and perspectives are represented at ZuFloripa, leading to richer discussions and more robust solutions.\n\n### **Project plan & Milestone:**\n\n**Design and Identity:**\n\n- Website Designer: DONE\n- Visual Identity: DONE\n\n**Prototypes and Initial Steps:**\n\n- First Prototype to Collect Interested Emails: DONE\n\n**Logistics and Venue:**\n\n- Choice of Venue: PENDING\n- Definition of Coliving Space: ONGOING\n- Choice of Dates: DONE\n\n**Sponsorship and Partnerships:**\n\n- Seek Sponsors: ONGOING\n- Zuzalu Application: ONGOING\n\n**Event Content and Experiences:**\n\n- Definition of Experiences: ONGOING\n- Definition of Key Theme: DONE\n\n**Announcements and Communication:**\n\n- First Public Announcement: COMING SOON\n\n### Milestones from the past round:\n\n**[Q2 2024]**\n\n**Visit Yanomami Tribes and Collect Insights**\n\n***Status:** The visit to the tribes was not possible due to the limited budget from the quadratic funding round. However, we have already made a presentation about the Yanomamis in the Metagov community, and the research is progressing with the support of an anthropologist.*\n\nhttps://archive.org/details/metagov-seminar-yanomami-zeugh\n\n**[Q3 2025]**\n\n**Research and Papers Release**\n\n***Status:** We conducted interviews with several anthropologists, and one has agreed to start the research in August. The Yanomami topic is quite delicate, and many anthropologists avoid addressing it. The idea is to launch the research during the event.*\n\n**[Q1 2025]**\n\n**ZuFloripa Organization**\n\n***Status:** The ETH Floripa website already has a design, and we have a tentative agenda for the event. We are finalizing the choice of the venue for ETH Floripa as well as the best neighborhood/region for the ZuFloripa co-living. Additionally, the team is working on local experiences focused on sharing knowledge and fostering human bonding.*\n\n![Untitled](https://i.imgur.com/OgheJ4T.png)\n\n### At which location will the event occur and why?\n\n*Florianópolis – Santa Catarina*\n\n1.
