Zuzu.log is a liquid bookmark born in a real community, aiming to record and weave collective wisdom into an information map within vast group chats. The product prototype originated from the cori robot of the dAgora project in the dDAO, a bot that curates community essence content and uploads it to the Crossbell chain. The user process of Zuzu.log is simple and clear: anyone can call the robot in a chat room (Telegram / Discord) to immediately upload the chat content to the chain. In group chats, the basic unit of modern social interaction, we catch a glimpse of a vast community-based treasure trove of information. By refining it to its essence and storing it on a dedicated public chain for information curation, we openly and protectively release the diverse cognition that emerges in real-time from the bottom up.
Zuzu.log is generated by the community and serves the community, making it a product with a pure mission. So, what is a community? A community is a network woven by people. In the web0 era, people were intertwined in the physical world. In the web1-2 era, people were intertwined in parallel universes of the virtual world and the disconnected physical world. The web3 era is a turning point: we usher in the "great convergence" of the century.
The underlying architecture of blockchain allows the virtual world to be pieced together into a complete continent, forming a metaverse where everything is interconnected. And digital construction now feeds back into real-world construction, leading us to bridge the online and offline network states. This will be an unprecedented connection, where the immense network will greatly return power to the individual's world, thus liberating human creativity and energy. We believe that the soul of the third-generation network lies in the community.
In the spring and summer of 2023, in the co-living experiment called Zuzalu initiated by Vitalik in the Republic of Montenegro, a group of girls with a belief in community tried to capture real local needs through personal experiences. In this two-month social experiment, nothing is more touching than the connection between people. People work and play together, seeking intimacy and trust in one firm embrace after another. However, the physical contact that involves bodily sensations is fleeting. What remains are fragments of conversation aggregated in group chats, outlining the contours of all interactions. To resist the limitations of time, we want to make this experience eternal in a cyber way.
We are tired of the blockchain that is big and empty, close to money but distant from people. We are also tired of the blockchain that is higher, faster, and stronger, where one can reach for the stars. Humanism is our starting point and will also be our endpoint. All our product imaginings come from our understanding of the humanities.
Each generation of information summons the media of that generation. From the Gutenberg era of books to the internet era of web pages, and now to the era of blockchain and artificial intelligence, where information is intelligent, fluid, and sovereign. As the granularity of media decreases, our density of capturing information enters an unprecedented minimum unit. Group chats, a word, a paragraph, the essence of any social interaction, will be selected from the most basic and popular form of interaction and displayed on the public, transparent, and decentralized cyber square. In the process of deconstructing the cognitive architecture, knowledge is no longer concentrated among knowledge elites. This is a ritual of bidding farewell to the super-individual club and a war song launched against traditional data factories. What we believe in is the collaborative power of the community, which is deposited in the corners of online interactions waiting to be collected and cherished by people. By curating high-quality information to the blockchain, Zuzu.log will form an infinite, endless, and timeless "flowing library," releasing the thought reserves of all individuals and becoming a community-based superbrain from person to person.
In the public goods hackathon organized by Zuzalu and Gitcoin, Zuzu.log was fortunate to win third place. This is a good start. The dAgora team of Zuzu.log will also raise funds in the Gitcoin beta round. As a public project that relies entirely on community contributors, support from the public is especially important to us.
