I. Zuzalu.City Software Updates
We've been hard at work enhancing Zuzalu.city, and we're excited to share some key updates with you. 1. Zuzalu.city Beta is on the horizone! We're in our final sprints to launch our open Beta for all to test and use. Our brand-new ticketing flow covers everything from applications to seamless ticket issuing and sales. Join our [Element] to join the conversation! 2. New Event registration and Ticketing Flow: We're levelling up our event system to give every community event total flexibility in managing different types of events, featuring: 1. Creation of customizable ZK credentials and ticket sales with smart contracts, 2. Automatic check-in access management with self-managed ZK-NFTs and legacy ZuPass integration, 3. a simple event application form, with a web3 form on the way.
2. Upgraded Ceramic Node: We've just upgraded our Ceramic Node to a more stable version! 🚀
Data migration is currently in progress, and we're inviting projects to take this opportunity to test Ceramic once the Beta is live. 3. New Resources: [ZuBuilder blog] and [GitHub link]have been added to ZuCity making it easier to access updates and contributions. We are also building out our documentation! 4. Front-End Kit Discussion: We're building out a front-end kit to streamline the integration process and make development smoother for applications joining Zuzalu.city. 5. Main Site Version Launch: The alpha build has been switched to our [main domain] for more robust testing and deployment.
