💡 Zuzalu Software Vision: Building a CommunityOS for every innovative community.
Zuzalu.city emerged from the first techno-optimistic pop-up community of Zuzalu (https://app.gitbook.com/o/9he3DodqIAPoWu4QFnF9/s/wHM7CkJP5HD14iBxD0yj/~changes/36/welcome/what-is-zuzalu/~overview). It aims to become the most user-friendly operating system for exploring decentralized tools built by Ethereum communities.
Zuzalu Software represents a d/acc movement — a call to builders to create a world where communities can own and shape their civilization through open, decentralized tools.
