A Unique Blockchain Retreat Inspires New Pop-Up Cities
A recent tweet by user jordan (@cryptosmiff) sparked curiosity about a secret event called Zuzalu, organized by Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin. The event has now led to the creation of invite-only pop-up cities known as “Zu-villages.”
Funding for Events and Tech Projects
Zuzalu aims to advance pop-up city events and support technology-driven projects. Two pools of funds are available: 166.5 ETH for events and 83.5 ETH for tech projects.
Qualification Criteria and Uncertainty
To be eligible for matched funds, at least one team member must have attended Zuzalu in 2023 for a minimum of one week. However, it is unclear if Zuzalu will happen again this year or provide details on timing and location.
Mystery Surrounding Zuzalu Retreat
The Zuzalu retreat itself was not announced beforehand and only became known through social media posts. It has been described as both a camp discussing esoteric topics and an exclusive gathering reminiscent of Silicon Valley.
Hot Take: What’s Behind This Mysterious Gathering?
The secret Zuzalu retreat organized by Vitalik Buterin has inspired the creation of Zu-villages, which are invite-only pop-up cities.
