Year of the ZAO - Day 166
Fractal Day, and a Bounty Day
Good morning, and happy Fractal Day in the Year of the ZABAL.
It is Fractal Day, so come join us in the ZAO Discord for our weekly community meeting - the ZAO Fractal, where we share what we are building and earn governance together through peer consensus. We meet at 6pm Eastern: https://discord.theZAO.com
Week two is in the books, and the recap is out: six sessions, from music to media to protocol to legal structure to AI agents, all recorded and kept. Read the Week 2 recap: https://paragraph.com/@thezao/year-of-the-zabal-day-165
One more from the weekend: another great talk. Aziz (MotoMoto) of Build Africa DAO on Non-Dev to Shipped - building Baraza Protocol with AI tools, no coding background. Read the transcript now, video coming soon: https://zabalgamez.com/recordings/11
New to the Fractal? The intro is now posted to the website too: Zaal's weekly introduction to the ZAO Fractal, the first ZAO project - what the ZAO is, how ZAO Respect is earned, and how the Respect game works. Watch it before tonight: https://zabalgamez.com/recordings/zao/1
Now this week. It starts today, and today is a bounty day.
First, we are closing the Best ZABAL Gamez Ad bounty. Thank you to everyone who made one: https://poidh.xyz/base/bounty/1180
Then, live in the session with Kenny of POIDH at 4pm EST, we start something new: an open pot for July's builders. The shape is simple - anyone can add to it over the next two months, and at the end it gets split among the builds that ship in July and make it through. Come watch a bounty get made, and help us design it. RSVP: https://luma.com/9ylnwvyx
Right after, at 4:45pm EST, Chris Dolinsky walks through Vini App - a look at what he is building, for the community to try. RSVP: https://luma.com/tip89eq3

Today's mindful moment: Make Service an Integral Part of Your Life.
From Don't Sweat the Small Stuff by Richard Carlson, number 73. The practice is one question to start the day: how can I be of service? The answers show up all day long, and they are rarely grand. They are the small, quiet, often unnoticed acts - taking the trash out when it is not your turn, listening to someone having a hard time, being supportive of a new endeavor, giving a little extra when something you care about needs it. Service is not a one-time effort, it is a way of thinking. The old line holds: giving is its own reward, and what you receive is proportional to what you give.
For builders, service is reviewing a pull request, testing a friend's mini app, answering a question in the channel, boosting someone else's launch. The open pot we start today is that made concrete - anyone can add to it for July's builders. Everyone wins, especially you. The build is the application.
See you at 4. Insert Coin.
