There is still more to learn from Vitalik Buterin’s network state popup city experiment, Zuzalu.
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has revealed that he still needs to solve at least two major issues — governance and membership — to make his “popup city” or “network states” concept workable.
Speaking at the Network State Conference 2024 in Singapore on Sept. 22, Vitalik Buterin explained the theory behind “network states” — a movement where online communities come together to form physical communities and seek political autonomy.
The mathematician reflected on his experiment called Zuzalu for which involved bringing 200 people from the Ethereum community, crypto executives, biotech entrepreneurs, and scientific researchers into Montenegro from March to May 2023.
