Today I’m sharing the first public MVP of **MyZubster**, an experimental open project that brings together environmental data, artificial intelligence, decentralized technologies and digital creativity.

After developing and testing the first APIs, the project now has a **public deployment running on Render**.

MyZubster explores the idea of a decentralized green ecosystem where technology can help connect real-world environmental observations with AI and new digital tools.

The project currently experiments with:

This is an MVP: some components are already operational, while others remain experiments or require further verification.

One experiment inside MyZubster is **Nicola Comics**.

The MVP exposes a small comic catalog through a public API.

You can see it here:

[https://myzubster-mvp.onrender.com/api/comics](https://myzubster-mvp.onrender.com/api/comics)

The catalog currently contains three entries.

One of them, `n4k48-comic-001`, is marked as:

`NFT_CANDIDATE`

This deliberately does **not** mean that an NFT has already been minted.

The project currently keeps its rights status as `TO_VERIFY`, while `contract_address`, `token_id` and `transaction_hash` remain empty until verifiable evidence exists.

This is an important design principle for the project:

**a proposal for tokenization is not the same thing as an on-chain asset.**

The MVP also includes a public Zorgax-oriented endpoint:

`POST /api/zorgax/ask`

For example, the catalog can process a request such as:

```
{
  "question": "Show me the Nicola Comics",
  "action": "gallery"
}
```

The endpoint has been successfully tested on the public deployment and returns the Nicola Comics catalog with absolute links to the individual entries.

At this stage, this verifies the **public catalog adapter running inside the MyZubster MVP**.

Integration with a separate or upstream Zorgax service should be considered a different integration step and is not being claimed by this MVP test.

The public MVP currently uses:

**Python + Flask** for the API

**Gunicorn** as the application server

**Docker** for containerization

**Render** for the public deployment

**GitHub** for source code and documentation

The broader development environment also explores **Ollama** and **Qdrant** for AI and semantic-search functionality.

The next steps are to improve the public interface, develop the environmental-data components, connect Nicola Comics more deeply with the ecosystem, verify provenance and rights before any NFT-related operation, and continue experimenting with the AI architecture.

MyZubster is still an early public build.

That is exactly why I’m publishing it now: to build in public, test the architecture, document what works and clearly distinguish experiments from verified functionality.

Feedback, testing, ideas and collaboration are welcome.

**Build first. Verify everything. Then decentralize what actually makes sense.**
