Zuzalu Hubs as d/acc and FOSS Accelerators
summary
Building a permanent Swiss village as an accelerator for open source and d/acc tech, with a May proof of concept that hosted 200 people for a month at a ski resort that now wants a pilot and token integration. The model pairs a tokenized endowment fund with hybrid proof-of-legitimacy (reputation plus stake) and onchain tools like prediction and conviction markets to concentrate legitimacy, allocate capital better, and shift ownership toward longterm resident cooperatives while 2026 focuses on an MVP.
