Year of the Zabal - Day 97
Season 2 Ep. 3 | March ZOLs from the Songjam Leaderboard
The March ZABAL Opinion Leaders are locked in.
For those new here - every month, the top 3 on the Songjam Leaderboard earn ZOL status. ZOL stands for ZABAL Opinion Leader. It's how we recognize the people who show up consistently across X Spaces, Farcaster, and the ZABAL ecosystem. The leaderboard tracks mentions, participation, and engagement - and the people at the top aren't gaming it. They're just present.
This is Season 2, Episode 3. We've now recognized 12 ZOLs total across 4 months of running this program.
Here are your March ZOLs:
Gold: Ohnahji
Back on the podium. Ohnahji is the founder of Ohnahji University - "Web3's First HBCU" - an education community focused on elevating BIPOC artists, creators, and entrepreneurs in Web3. He co-hosts Let's Talk About Ethereum with Zaal and Maceo every Wednesday at 6 PM EST. He's a Day 1 ZAO fractal participant, currently ranked #8 on the all-time Respect leaderboard with 1,581 total Respect. This is his second time earning ZOL status - he first hit in February. When you see someone show up across the leaderboard, the podcast, the fractals, AND the Songjam spaces - that's what consistent contribution looks like.
Silver: CandyToyBox
This one hits different. Candy is one of the co-founders of WaveWarZ alongside Ike - she handles marketing, design, and agentic automation for the platform. But beyond WaveWarZ, she's been one of the biggest supporters of ZOE, our AI agent, from the very beginning. Engaging with ZOE daily, testing it, pushing it, believing in what we're building on the agent side before most people even understood what it was. Seeing her step onto the ZOL podium this month is exciting because it's proof that the people who support the ecosystem at every layer eventually rise to the top of it.
Bronze: Jason Alder
Another repeat ZOL. Jason first earned his spot back in Season 1 and he's right back. Consistency is the name of the game and Jason keeps showing up. Two-time ZOL energy.
This month was fun. Two repeat ZOLs proving that this isn't a one-time thing - the people who earned it before are still earning it. And one of the most dedicated supporters in the ecosystem finally getting recognized on the board.
We're going live on the leaderboard today at 11:30 AM EST.
Pull up, see the numbers, and congratulate your ZOLs.
