Case Study: Burning Man

A temporary city of 70,000+ — where a Z Private Network turns radical self-reliance into radical abundance.

Population
~70,000
Duration

Unique Factor
Gift Economy

Why Burning Man?

Black Rock City operates as a gift economy, but logistics — water, fuel, art support — still need value exchange. Current methods (cash, donations, outside sponsorships) don't capture the immediacy of abundance within the Playa.

Opportunity

  • Commission a temporary Z Network to anchor gifts in Solar equivalence.
  • Support large-scale art with instant transparent funding flows.
  • Offer participants proof-of-participation artifacts backed by Solar.

Unique Use-Cases

Art Grants

Instant Solar funding to artists building large installations.

Water & Fuel Nodes

Transparent, tax-inclusive settlement for essential supplies.

Proof-of-Gift Tokens

Digital artifacts honoring community contributions, Solar-backed.

Playa Power Grid

On-site PPA-style redemption for Solar → kWh equivalence.
