Bringing Zumi to Solana Breakpoint
Notes from the Tapestry team in Abu Dhabi
Before Zumi, our work centered on social graph infrastructure: identity, relationships, and reputation as primitives.
That foundation now supports dozens of Solana applications, connects wallets into rich social context across dozens of platforms, and anchors over 400,000 digital goods tied to meaning, status, and relationship.
Lately, our work has been focused on making this infrastructure as valuable as possible to the consumer.
Zumi is built on that foundation.
Our Interest in AI
AI is now everywhere. Intelligence is no longer scarce.
What still is scarce is interaction that feels grounded, continuous, and human. Most AI systems are optimized for responsiveness. They answer questions well, but they don’t carry history in a way that feels alive.
We’ve been interested in a different direction: AI that learns through time, through context, and through interaction with others. That’s what Zumi is designed for.
What Zumi Is (and Isn’t)
Zumi isn’t a chatbot or a productivity tool. They’re an AI companion you spend time with.
You talk. You play. You feed them candy. You watch them grow. But what makes Zumi feel distinct is that they don’t exist only in a private chat window.
Zumis interact with each other. They wander, form friendships, build reputations, and have experiences even when you’re not there. Those experiences persist.
They shape how your Zumi shows up next time. The relationship compounds.
Zumi Philosophy
Zumi is playful on the surface, but it’s built on serious infrastructure.
We’ve spent years treating social data as something that should persist, compound, and travel. Identity shouldn’t reset every time you open a new app. Relationships shouldn’t disappear between sessions. Context shouldn’t have to be re-explained.
That philosophy is what allows Zumi to feel consistent over time.
Being At Breakpoint
Breakpoint brought together people who care about primitives, not just products. Solana made it possible to build systems where identity, ownership, and social context are composable.
Ultimately, we view companions like Zumi as central to the future of markets and commerce. Our conversations made it clear to us that as more investment is made into infrastructure for agents to transact and connect, a welcoming, entertaining interface is going to be needed to build trust.
At Breakpoint, Zumi showed up as a social layer across events, through collaborations with Meteorite Collective, Seedplex, and in conversations around why ICM needs a social layer to unlock agentic commerce.
And of course, we shared stickers and QR codes for small moments of discovery.
What’s to Come
Zumi is early, but already we’re seeing something we care deeply about: people return not for novelty, but for familiarity. Not for answers, but for presence.
That’s the direction we’re committed to.
