Thanks for subscribing to The ZAO Newsletter.

This week is pushing the ZABAL ecosystem into a new rhythm.

Three straight days of AMAs, deeper integration with the SongJam leaderboard, and the first expansion of Sing Point mechanics across Farcaster.

Here’s what moved.

1. Three ZABAL AMAs in Three Days

We hosted:

• ZABAL AMA #4 — Monday, 5 PM EST
• ZABAL AMA #5 — Tuesday, 5 PM EST
• ZABAL AMA #6 — Wednesday, 11:30 AM EST

Each session brought new voices into the conversation and gave us more insight into how people are interpreting the ecosystem.

The repetition matters — every AMA sharpens the story, clarifies the architecture, and expands the circle.

We’ll keep running these throughout December as we approach January 1st.

2. SongJam Leaderboard — New Features Activated

This week also marks the first major expansion of the SongJam scoring system for ZABAL.

You can now earn Sing Points by:

• Posting “ZM”, “ZABAL”, or “BetterCallZaal” on Farcaster
• Joining any ZABAL AMA on the SongJam leaderboard
• Continuing to post on X throughout the month

This is the first bridge between the decentralized social graph (Farcaster) and the open attention rails of X — and it makes the leaderboard feel more like a cross-network signal amplifier.

As we continue hosting AMAs on the SongJam leaderboard, more mechanics will be added.

December is about tuning the system and preparing it for January’s official launch.

3. The December Flow Continues

Every day adds more momentum:

• More people joining SongJam Spaces
• More builders entering from Farcaster
• More voices contributing to the ZABAL story

These AMAs are becoming the heartbeat of the month — the place where the narrative grows publicly and collectively.

Closing

This week proved something important:

Consistency creates gravity.

Three days, three AMAs, expanding mechanics, and new contributors showing up across every layer of the ecosystem.

We’ll keep the pace steady.

More integrations are coming.

More features will unlock.

And the path to January 1st gets clearer every day.

More tomorrow.
