ZABAL isn’t in idea mode anymore.
It’s in execution mode.
Over the last stretch, we’ve quietly crossed an important line: the systems are live. Not polished. Not perfect. But functioning. Iterating. Distributing. Burning. Coordinating.
This is what infrastructure looks like in public.
We just launched a ZABAL Blank Space — and it took less than five minutes on a call.
Huge thanks to @willywonka for walking through it live.
Check it out here: http://zabal.blank.space/
Social hub for the Zabal community. Create, customize, and explore the Zabal ecosystem.
If you haven’t explored Blank Space yet, here’s the simple version:
On https://alpha.blank.space/, you can spin up a fully customizable community platform in about a minute. The same tools used to build larger ecosystem spaces are available to you as an admin. Members can customize their own profiles. Communities can build fidgets and mini apps directly on top.
One of my favorite features already live inside ZABAL’s space:
You can see the token holdings of Farcaster users who hold your ERC-20 token as shown below.
That’s serious utility for builders.
That’s visibility into your real community.
That’s coordination power.
This isn’t just a landing page. It’s programmable community infrastructure.
Since January 1st, through Empire Builder:
Distributed: $117
Burned: 76.08M ZABAL
Small in optics.
Massive in signal.
The system is functioning:
Value gets distributed
Tokens get burned
Participation gets rewarded
Everything happens transparently
Most recent distributions have been primarily tied to the Farcaster leaderboard inside Empire Builder, reinforcing identity + participation over passive holding.
This is how token loops mature.
We released the second Empire Builder interview — this time with co-founder Adrian (Divifly).
Watch here:
This episode dives deep into the technical infrastructure and roadmap behind Empire Builder V3.
We cover:
Early crypto cycles (Dogecoin mining, ICO era lessons)
Institutional-grade infrastructure via Splits and Mint Club
Treasury management and staking
Clanker V4 migration
API-driven leaderboards for mini apps
On-chain raffles
Token burn transparency
AI-assisted development and reputation systems
This isn’t surface conversation.
It’s how real coordination tools get built.
If you missed the first Empire Builder interview with Yerberzerker on YouTube, that’s worth watching as well.
We have:
A live ERC-20 token
A semi-live miniapp (working on it)
Live leaderboard mechanics (on Empire Builder and Songjam)
Real token burns (random timings during streams)
Real distributions (primarily through the Farcaster leaderboard on Empire Builder)
ZABAL conversations happening daily at 11:30 AM EST
A live Blank Space hub
This isn’t speculation.
It’s operating infrastructure.
The miniapp runs.
Leaderboards update.
Streams trigger burns.
Empire Builder distributes.
The community shows up daily.
Not perfect.
Not finished.
But real.
ZABAL is becoming:
A coordination layer
A builder toolkit
A token-native participation engine
A feedback loop between identity, contribution, and on-chain reward
We’re not waiting for ideal conditions.
We’re building in public.
We’re testing in production.
We’re refining through use.
Explore the Blank Space
Connect your Farcaster
Hold ZABAL
Vote in the miniapp
Track the leaderboard
Show up at 11:30 AM EST
Watch the Empire Builder interviews
Participation compounds.
Infrastructure rewards consistency.
We’re not chasing hype cycles.
We’re building systems that can last.
Let’s keep building.

gm zm ZABAL UPDATE 17 Infrastructure, not theory. ZABAL isn’t in idea mode anymore. It’s in execution mode. The systems are live. Not perfect. Not polished. But functioning. Iterating. Distributing. Burning. Coordinating. 🧵👇
ZABAL now has a Blank Space. Launched in under 5 minutes live. http://zabal.blank.space/ Blank Space lets you spin up a fully customizable community platform in about a minute. Programmable community infrastructure. S/O @willywonka.eth
One of my favorite features already live: You can see token holdings of Farcaster users who hold your ERC-20. That’s real visibility. That’s coordination power. That’s utility for builders. Not a landing page. An operating system. S/O @ticweb3 for topping the leaderboard on empire builder based on his holdings.
