Resources Required: Floor space for a walk-through installation + small booth, power, operational/staffing support, comms support.

:brain: What do you suggest?

A walk-through art installation that imagines everyday Ethereum life in 2047, seen through an Indian lens. Visitors don’t just look — they complete a short on-chain journey: record a one-line vision of the future, predict where Ethereum heads long-term, do a first send transaction to zebpay.eth (gasless), mint a free participation NFT, and walk out with a personalised keepsake.

:bullseye: Motivation & Rationale

  • Attendee experience: Turns a booth into an experience — original art, a playful prediction game, a collectible, a real first transaction, and a memento to take home. Everyone, newcomer or core dev, gets to say what Ethereum looks like in 2047 — and we keep all those visions as a public on-chain time capsule.

  • Ethereum use case: ENS identity (zebpay.eth) + gasless onboarding (account abstraction) + an NFT mint + on-chain attestations for the prediction layer — bundled into one guided flow. For many it’ll be their first-ever on-chain transaction, with no gas and no seed-phrase friction.

:hammer_and_wrench: Implementation

  • Done before? The pieces are proven — POAP-style NFTs, ENS flows, gasless onboarding and attestations are common at Ethereum events. This composes them into one art-led journey. It is belived that can be done and feasible

  • How we’ll make it happen: ZebPay designs, builds and staffs the whole thing — installation fabrication, open-source contracts, the zebpay.eth send destination, and a paymaster to sponsor gas so it’s free for attendees. On-site etching for the keepsake.

:gear: Operational Requirements & Ownership

  • Needed: Floor space + booth, power, deployed contracts, the zebpay.eth ENS name, gasless setup, staffing, accessibility (wheelchair-friendly layout, Hindi + regional language prompts, no-smartphone fallback).

  • Who runs it on site: Akshay Salunke and ZebPay’s Brand team if accepted, end-to-end.

  • Integrations: ENS, an attestation framework (e.g. EAS), POAP or an open mint standard, account-abstraction providers — and any treasure-hunt or social-game activation that wants to read our NFT/attestations. Open to co-design.
