## Content

We had a great ZABAL AMA #8 yesterday — strong energy and real conversations, with up to 18 people live on the Songjam leaderboard audio space. Exactly the kind of participation we want to see as we head into launch. Right after that, we closed out the year with a successful ZAO Fractal: • 2 new community members stepped up with their first intros • 5 people played the Respect Game — the final round of 2025 Grounded. Intentional. A solid way to end the year. Important — Snapshot Prep If you’re participating through Songjam, you must connect your wallet to the Songjam leaderboard so we have your wallet address for the snapshot. 👉 Wallets can be submitted without staking here: https://leaderboard.songjam.space If your wallet isn’t connected, it won’t be included. Simple as that. What’s Next Our next ZABAL AMA will start Wednesday at 11:30 AM EST. Token Launch The ZABAL token will launch on January 1st at around 11:00 AM EST, using Empire Builder on the Clanker protocol. We’ll be live on the Songjam leaderboard audio space 30 minutes before launch for anyone who wants to join, listen in, or ask last-minute questions. Show up early. Get oriented. Build together. Clear timing. Clear rails. Let’s build.
