A two-month gathering of 300-500 individuals to promote/research the defensive, decentralized, differentiated, and democratic acceleration of technology, following the d/acc philosophy outlined in Vitalik Buterin’s article My techno-optimism.

Vitalik writes about technologies that are exceptionally game changing and need extra consideration in order to accelerate them in a safe way, such as artificial intelligence. In Zuzalu, we built some of these game changing technologies, such as identity documents protected with zero knowledge cryptography, and partnered with Montenegrin officials and university leaders for mutual benefit. In Georgia, we seek to continue this legacy by bringing together a larger number of builders and thinkers from frontier fields to discuss and develop technologies that tackle humanity’s greatest challenges, while building strategic partnerships to accelerate technological development in Georgia in a way that takes safety considerations into account.
