Zuzalu
The original two-month pop-up city convened by Vitalik Buterin and collaborators, bringing ~200 core residents together around longevity, crypto, and governance. It spawned the entire pop-up city movement: within 18 months more than 20 derivative villages had launched worldwide. Zuzalu itself never repeated; zuzalu.city now serves as a community hub and calendar for successor 'Zu' events.
Convened by Vitalik Buterin and collaborators; origin of the entire Zuzalu movement
