ZABAL Gamez Season 1 is hosted by Zaal under the BetterCallZaal umbrella, run by a small core of ZAO ecosystem builders, and powered by partner platforms across Farcaster, Base, and Solana. Below is the cast list.
The organizer. Runs ZABAL Gamez, BetterCallZaal, the /zabal channel. Builder, music infra, ZAO operations. Site: bettercallzaal.com.
100+ member gated Farcaster music community. Governance by Respect (soulbound, peer-validated, earned through weekly fractal sessions). The constituency the Games serves and the voter set for the Finals.
Built WaveWarZ on Solana - the artist prediction-market platform. Growing battle history + cumulative SOL volume (live numbers at wavewarz-intelligence.vercel.app). WaveWarZ is the underlying tech the August Finals will run on (per Doc 720).
Shipping the Base agentic version of WaveWarZ alongside Hurric4n3Ike + Arthur. Two smart contracts on testnet, mainnet-bound for July. Full handle + surname pending confirmation.
Reviewing the WaveWarZ-Base smart contracts and providing agent-security references. Recording a June workshop session on the contracts. Mentor at ZABAL Gamez. EVM-native, better with Base than Solana. Joined the team via the 2026-05-19 intro call (Doc 711).
ZAO Music team member, working with Zaal on the cowork action-item tracker, ZOE skills coordination, ORDAO governance integration for the Respect-holder snapshot mechanism.
30-min Magnetiq pitch in June. Magnetiq also hosts the workshop library + entry/onboarding + the Zabal connector entry NFT (the host platform for ZABAL Gamez' workshop month). Per the Tyler call recap.
Open roster for the rest. Sign up: zabalgamez.com/lead. Live count + spec links also on the main page workshops section.
Real platforms in the ZAO ecosystem ZABAL Gamez builds will plug into. These are the rails (see llms.txt for the code snippets).
Hosts the ZABAL Gamez portal: workshop video library, entry/onboarding, polls, UGC submissions. Native video, opt-in email capture, per-vendor watch analytics. Entry is the Zabal connector NFT - collect it, you are in.
The platform $ZABAL is wrapped on. apiLeaderboards pattern + booster mechanics + bulk distribute API. V3 tier stack: Basic Empire (free, tokenless) -> Ascended Empire (token launch). Co-creators built it with Zaal.
No-code Farcaster Snap builder at zlank.online. Drag-drop builder, 14 block types, hosted at /s/[uuid]. The ZABAL Gamez signup Snap is a partner template here (PR #63).
SongJam's leaderboard is migrating off the deprecated X scraper onto an Empire Builder API leaderboard (adoptable project #01). $SANG is SongJam's token; ZABAL holders often hold SANG.
Solana v1 live at wavewarz-intelligence.vercel.app. Base v2 in build with Sam (contracts) + Arthur (review + agent-security). v2 settles the August Finals (Doc 720). 1% trade cut to the artist/builder, smart-contract settlement.
How $ZABAL launched 2026-01-01. AI-agent token launcher native to Farcaster - tag @clanker in a cast, get an ERC-20 on Base with WETH-paired LP locked until 2100. Optional Finals mechanic per Doc 646.
The identity + reputation stack ZABAL Gamez builds on. Farcaster Hubs = free decentralized read layer for FID + cast + verified-address lookups (HAATZ wiring pending per Cassie's stack). Hats = onchain role NFTs on Base (Finisher / Champion / Mentor). Bonfire = reputation knowledge graph. EAS = onchain attestations.
The August Finals pair each finalist with an embedded ZAO mentor. Mentor roster is open - sign up via the /lead form (pick "Mentor" or "Both"). Confirmations land as DMs convert post-launch. Look for the live count on the home page.
