A globally recognized and the only ethereum cultural community in Chiang Mai
dedicated to advancing the crypto ecosystem
A part of Zuzalu Movement
A blockchain technology based interdisciplinary research center
A co-living and co-working space
Zuzalu is a global movement that began as a pop-up city experiment, bringing together pioneers in technology, public goods, longevity, governance, and decentralized networks to explore new models of co-living, co-working, and collaboration.
More than just an event, Zuzalu is a growing network of interconnected communities, fostering open innovation, shared knowledge, and real-world impact.
As part of this movement, 4Seas provides a lasting hub for cypherpunks, digital nomads, and visionaries to connect, build, and experiment—extending Zuzalu’s legacy in Chiang Mai.
The first Zuzalu experiment in Montenegro gathered over 800 pioneers to explore longevity, crypto, network states, AI, and decentralized governance. This two-month pop-up city became a model for future co-living and co-creation experiments.
Buenos Aires hosted Crecimiento, one of the most impactful pop-up cities, with strong support from President Milei and the Buenos Aires City Government. It introduced a Crypto Innovation Zone, tested UBI in crypto, and piloted special economic policies—turning the city into a real-world lab for economic transformation.
Chiang Mai became the epicenter of the pop-up season, where over ten pop-up communities emerged simultaneously, including Edge City, Invisible Garden, Funding the Commons, LovePunk, MegaETH, Shanhaiwoo and more. Zuzalu 2.0 brought together pioneers in governance, public goods, and longevity to prototype new models of decentralized collaboration and regenerative communities.
ZuChiangMai will center on CosmoLocal, integrating global knowledge, talent, and resources to drive local solutions. Unlike previous Zuzalu gatherings, it will prioritize local impact, applying decentralized innovation to areas such as regenerative economy, public goods, and cultural preservation to create lasting value for Chiang Mai.
We sincerely appreciate the generous support from all of you. Your contributions make a meaningful difference
