Maybe the Real SocialFi Was the Friends We Made Along the Way

The End of the Zurf Journey

Almost two years ago, we set out on a journey to change social media. We began as three entrepreneurs, then two, and now we are a team of seven engineers and one designer. Together, we built a team of champions.

To fund Zurf's venture into SocialFi, we sold tokens. Although we didn't actively pursue it, a few companies heard about us and reached out, asking for help in tokenizing their assets or assisting with their existing tokens. This gave us the runway we needed to keep going. However, Zurf didn’t have the impact we had hoped for.

Thanks to a new client who asked us to tokenize carbon credits—giving us one last month of runway—we decided to give Farcaster a try. We rebranded and upgraded Zurf, launching VIBRA. Then, something amazing happened—a champion (<warpcast.com/jpfraneto)>>) joined us and decided to take VIBRA into his hands. Meanwhile, our team, now called A0 Company, is focusing on real-world assets (RWAs) with companies and offering our expertise to all on-chain companies seeking high-quality consumer product development services.

The startup journey is just like this: offer something to the world, do what excites you, and strive to find the elusive product-market fit—a product the market wants, is willing to pay for, and would be very disappointed to lose.

The journey continues to be incredibly exciting as we enter another stage of our growth.

To those who supported us from the beginning and purchased $Zurf, we understand your concerns. Currently, there’s no liquidity pool available, as we made the difficult decision to use those funds to cover the final month of salaries. We prioritized retaining our highly talented team over maintaining immediate liquidity. This doesn’t mean your funds are gone forever; please bear with us as we work on creating a better offering that will recognize all the tokens you currently hold, as well as those still vesting.

Now, the team is thrilled about the new projects we're taking on, and I'm personally very happy with the environment that allows this kind of work to be done.This is the only way, we keep building.
