For 6 years I have been learning what this town does to people who stay. ZuKaş is my way of sharing it . September is the the door 🚪

Massive news: Türkiye is the first state to anchor its official archives to @ethereum!

@iletisim moved 130+ publications to IPFS with cryptographic proofs settled on Ethereum mainnet. 🇹🇷⛓️

From "trust us" to "verify us" via public, permissionless infrastructure. Huge!

[ZuKaş 2026 | September @zuzalukas]

A sovereign state just anchored its official archives to @ethereum .
Türkiye's Presidential Communications Directorate has moved 130 institutional publications onto IPFS, with cryptographic proofs settled on Ethereum mainnet — making Türkiye the first state to transition official institutional records to verifiable proof on a public, permissionless L1.
The authenticity and integrity of these records can now be independently verified by anyone. This is what state-level endorsement of decentralized infrastructure actually looks like.

[ZuKaş 2026 | September @zuzalukas]

When you align the public sector (Ministry, Municipality), local NGOs, and global builders, you create a high-trust, permanent ecosystem. ZuKaş isn’t just a pop-up; it’s an autonomous hub embedding the Zuzalu ethos into reality. We keep building.

[ZuKaş 2026 | September @zuzalukas]

Pop-up cities are great for alignment, but the real endgame is a Permanent Network State. Since 2021, we’ve been compounding our roots in Kaş. April 25-29 was a masterclass in Cosmolocalism IRL: bridging global Web3 ethos with local resilience. 🧵👇

Is coding dead? AI expert Tim Zinin, originally from Russia, is teaching students in Kaş, Antalya, that natural language is the new code. Machines are becoming agentic—why learn Python when you can just talk? Watch now. #AI #Coding #FutureOfTech #TimZinin #Kaş #TechTrends

We’ve opened surveys for our Pop-up City Research Initiative.

We’re building a public-good, community-informed research report on pop-up cities, using systematic methods to make cross-case comparisons. Whether you participated in a pop-up city as an attendee, operator, or partner, you can find your role-based survey here: https://t.co/J4OWCJ80RA

Candidate focal cases include Zuzalu, Edge Esmeralda, Network School v2, Burning Man, and others. Each focal case receives a dedicated case profile, cross-case comparisons, and positioning on the report’s landscape map. The final public good report will feature 8–12 focal cases from an initial candidate pool of 15, which may expand; cases that do not meet minimum data thresholds will be included as comparator references rather than full profiles.

More about the initiative: https://t.co/ZJJ18LsQHC

This is independent research. No affiliation or endorsement is implied for any referenced candidate case. Our analysis draws on surveys plus formal interviews to date with 71 stakeholders across 48 pop-up cities and relevant organisations, and this dataset is still growing. We also conduct on-the-ground fieldwork at select pop-up cities, with additional interviews ongoing.

We postponed ZuKaş to later this year. But the ecosystem didn't stop.
This Saturday we're running a free AI workshop at Kaş Municipality Hall. Local business owners, students, anyone curious.

* From the Roman Empire to Distributed Autonomous Organizations

https://t.co/mFg8LOC2cH

"Material conditions constrain what ideas are possible. Ideas can transform material conditions. The relationship is dialectical, not deterministic.

To make this concrete, Bauwens returns to one of history’s great transitions.

The Roman Empire was built on conquest and slavery. Expansion was the engine; when expansion stopped, the engine stalled. Decline was not a moral failure – it was a structural one. As the empire contracted, a new value system was already taking root at the margins.

Christianity, in its early form, was a radical value revolution. Roman citizens believed work was for slaves; the free citizen’s calling was philosophy and civic life. The body, which slaves used for labor, was relatively unimportant. The mind was everything.

Christianity inverted this: work and prayer were equally sacred, matter and spirit of equal importance. Work became participation in a divine project of improving the world.

The point is not that one system was superior. It is that the transition was not an evolution from one version of the same thing to another – it was a bifurcation. The new system emerged from what had failed in the old, and it went in a completely different direction. Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, and Advaita Vedanta each represent similar ruptures in different civilizational contexts.

“We are in the middle of a similar, very deep transformation of our society,” Bauwens argues. “The old hasn’t died yet, and the new isn’t there yet.” Antonio Gramsci called this the time of monsters. But for Bauwens, it is also the time of seeds.

Seed forms such as DAOs (distributed autonomous organizations), universal currencies independent of state and market, and new accounting systems do exist. None of these are solutions on their own. But they are prefigurations: early forms of something that does not yet have a name."

What happens when you bring builders, philosophers, and researchers to the coast where federal democracy was invented 2,600 years ago?
Last year we found out. This year we're going deeper.
ZuKaş 2026. April 10 – May 10. Kaş, Turkey.
🧵

[ZuKaş 2026 | September @zuzalukas]

Kaş isn't a random location. The Lycian League operated here — humanity's first federal democracy. Lydia invented coined money nearby. The Ahi guilds built commons-based economic systems across Anatolia.2,600 years of governance innovation, one coastline.

[Michel Bauwens @mbauwens]

@zuzalukas 2026 is going to be fantastic, and I'm going to be there the whole month, contributing my knowledge and research.

THIS will be a really UNIQUE gathering, and I'm really hoping to see you all there!!

"ZuKaş 2026. This year is April 10 – May 10 in Kaş, 30 full days. We've structured it around four weekly themes: Isonomia & Governance, Commons & Token Economics, Cosmo-local Production, and Mode D Synthesis."

[Michel Bauwens @mbauwens]

@zuzalukas the best program I have ever seen for a pop-up.

Forwards to the digi-caravanserai's <g>

[ZuKaş 2026 | September @zuzalukas]

@mbauwens ZuKaş weaves together what often remains separate:
3,000 years of governance heritage

living community practices
commons-based theoretical grounding

Ancient wisdom. Digital infrastructure. Regenerative synthesis.

[ZuKaş 2026 | September @zuzalukas]

A civilization doesn't start with 100,000 people.
It starts with a handful who say: "I'll be there before the plan exists."
That's what Blind Spot means.
