It's an open-source project that combines:\n\n```\n🌍 Global mapping of plants, animals, and people\n\n🔒 Private payments with Monero (XMR)\n\n🤖 Human control over AI — AI is a tool, not a master\n```\n\nAfter months of development, MyZubster is live in production on an Aruba VPS and now has a new home:\n\n👉 github.com/MyZubster-Ecosystem\n\n🧱 What We've Already Built\n\nThe ecosystem consists of modular, working components:\n\nComponent Description Link\n\nGateway Monero payment engine, webhooks, monitoring Repo\n\nMarketplace Platform for services and skills Repo\n\nAndroid App Mobile client for mapping and payments Repo\n\nWeb App Web interface for the marketplace Repo\n\nDocumentation Guides for developers and users Repo\n\nAnimal Registry Decentralized animal registry Repo\n\nAll repositories have:\n\n```\n✅ Clear READMEs and status badges\n\n✅ MIT License\n\n✅ GitHub Actions (CI)\n\n✅ Links back to the ecosystem\n```\n\n🗺️ The Next Step: Multi‑Category Mapping\n\nWe want to build an interactive map that shows:\n\n```\n🌿 Plants (verified by the community)\n\n🐾 Animals (registered on the blockchain)\n\n👤 People (service providers, local experts)\n```\n\nThis map will be the visual heart of MyZubster. And we need help building it.\n\nOpen mapping issues (free, for the community)\n\n6 Design MongoDB schema for mapping data MyZubsterGateway\n\n7 REST API for mapping (plants, animals, people) MyZubsterGateway\n\n8 Frontend for the interactive map (Leaflet/Mapbox) MyZubsterWeb\n\n9 Script to import public datasets (GBIF, iNaturalist) MyZubsterGateway\n\n10 Collaborative verification system for mapping data MyZubsterGateway\n\n🔗 View all issues: [https://github.com/MyZubster-Ecosystem/MyZubsterGateway/issues](https://github.com/MyZubster-Ecosystem/MyZubsterGateway/issues)\n\n🤖 Escrow Multisig with AI (Bounties in XMR)\n\nTo make the marketplace secure and autonomous, we want to implement a 2‑of‑3 multisig escrow system, where:\n\n```\nBuyer holds key 1\n\nSeller holds key 2\n\nAI Agent (DeepSeek) holds key 3 and signs the fund release\n```\n\nBounty issues (paid in Monero)\n\n1 Integrate 2/3 multisig wallet with Monero 0.10 MyZubsterGateway\n\n2 Create AI agent for multisig (third signer) 0.15 MyZubsterGateway\n\n3 Escrow gateway to coordinate orders and signatures 0.08 MyZubsterGateway\n\n4 Verification system for the AI (webhook & logs) 0.06 MyZubsterGateway\n\n5 Integrate escrow with the marketplace 0.07 MyZubster-Marketplace\n\n🔗 View all issues: [https://github.com/MyZubster-Ecosystem/MyZubsterGateway/issues](https://github.com/MyZubster-Ecosystem/MyZubsterGateway/issues)\n\n🙌 How You Can Contribute\n\nMyZubster is open source and welcomes every kind of contribution:\n\n💻 Code\n\n```\nBackend (Node.js, Express, Monero, MongoDB, SQLite)\n\nFrontend (React, Vite, React Native)\n\nAI and bots (DeepSeek, OpenAI)\n\nSecurity and performance\n```\n\n🌿 Data & Mapping\n\n``` python\nReport plants and animals in your area\n\nVerify submissions\n\nHelp import open datasets\n```\n\n🗣️ Outreach\n\n```\nWrite articles, make videos, talk about the project\n\nBring MyZubster to meetups, hackathons, universities\n```\n\n💰 Donations\n\nIf you believe in this mission, you can support us in Monero (XMR):\n\n45M4DW1ug8bdQowWpxucTpgsfjLbVxbYaAra79VewmBobuuhgqTjyD4R3DzpqLM2veiphcB16n24qN1QbLg3y2PYGK3Qkoe\n\n🔗 Useful Links\n\n```\nGitHub Organization: https://github.com/MyZubster-Ecosystem\n\nGateway Repository: https://github.com/MyZubster-Ecosystem/MyZubsterGateway\n\nMarketplace Repository: https://github.com/MyZubster-Ecosystem/MyZubster-Marketplace\n\nPersonal Profile: https://github.com/DanielIoni-creator\n\nRoadmap & Issues: https://github.com/users/DanielIoni-creator/projects/1\n```\n\n🌟 A Final Thought\n\n```\n\"I don't want to operate with banks and similar projects anymore. I want to finish developing my platform and start repopulating what we already have in MyZubster, which is now empty.\"\n```\n\nThis is my promise.\n\nIf you also believe a better world is possible, welcome aboard. 🌱\n\nDaniel Ioni – Rimini, 2026\n\n🐱 With Chanel watching me write code", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/myzubster-the-decentralized-ecosystem-to-map-the-world-with-monero-and-ai", "canonical_source": "https://dev.to/danielioni/myzubster-the-decentralized-ecosystem-to-map-the-world-with-monero-and-ai-a6c", "published_at": "2026-07-30 05:15:16+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-07-30 05:32:44.924452+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "developer-tools"], "entities": ["Daniel Ioni", "MyZubster", "Monero", "Aruba", "GitHub", "DeepSeek", "OpenAI", "Leaflet"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/myzubster-the-decentralized-ecosystem-to-map-the-world-with-monero-and-ai", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/myzubster-the-decentralized-ecosystem-to-map-the-world-with-monero-and-ai.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/myzubster-the-decentralized-ecosystem-to-map-the-world-with-monero-and-ai.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/myzubster-the-decentralized-ecosystem-to-map-the-world-with-monero-and-ai.jsonld"}}
