Zoo Improvement Proposals
Community-driven standards for the Zoo ecosystem — decentralized AI, wildlife conservation, open science, DeFi for impact, and applications powering the future of web3.
What are ZIPs?
Zoo Improvement Proposals (ZIPs) are design documents providing information about new features, standards, and processes for the Zoo ecosystem.
Standards Track
Technical specifications for protocols, token standards, and infrastructure components that require implementation across the ecosystem.
Meta Proposals
Process and governance proposals that define how the Zoo ecosystem evolves, including decision-making and contribution guidelines.
Informational
Guidelines, best practices, and design recommendations for the Zoo ecosystem that don't require direct implementation.
ZIP Categories
8 active categories spanning 100 proposals across AI, DeFi, conservation, gaming, science, and beyond.
Core & Governance
Core protocol specifications and governance frameworks for the Zoo ecosystem. Zoo Labs Foundation (501c3) is mission-driven to protect wildlife and democratize AI.
DeFi for Impact
Decentralized finance protocols powering conservation and research funding. Every transaction contributes to wildlife protection and open science.
NFT & Digital Assets
Standards for wildlife-themed NFTs and digital asset infrastructure.
Gaming & Metaverse
Specifications for wildlife gaming experiences and virtual ecosystems.
AI & Machine Learning
AI-powered systems for wildlife monitoring and conservation intelligence.
Wildlife Preservation & ESG
On-chain protocols for wildlife tracking, habitat protection, and species conservation. The core mission of Zoo Labs Foundation - protecting biodiversity for future generations.
Open Science & DeSci
Decentralized science protocols for open research and data sharing. Making scientific knowledge accessible to all while advancing conservation.
Application Standards
Application-layer standards including ZRC token specifications.
