Pop-Up Cities, ZK Tech & Living Forever — A Web3 Longevity Story with Francesca from AvinasiLabs

Web3 Magic - interviews with builders of novel blockchain solutions

Summary
What happens when ZK cryptographers, pop-up cities, and longevity scientists collide? In this special Web3Magic episode, I sit down with the one and only Francesca, a multidisciplinary personality bridging decentralized science, digital identity, and transhumanist visions of the future.
Francesca returns to the pod after a whirlwind journey through the world of ZKPass, popup cities like Vitalia and ZuConnect, and now her latest adventures with Avinasi Labs and AuraSci. From the Longevity Passport concept to merging AI, wearable health data, and decentralized infrastructure, Francesca shares how she feels that the next frontier in Web3 isn't just about finance, but about lifespan.
We cover a lot:
- What decentralized science (DeSci) is really about and why it's just getting started
- The role of zero-knowledge proofs in safeguarding health data
- How pop-up cities are incubating deep interdisciplinary collaboration
- The importance of data sovereignty in the future of wellness
- 2025 IRL events and experiments at ETH Denver and Vitalis Bay
- Whether you're a DeFi degen curious about health, a builder looking to enter the DeSci space, or just obsessed with the future of human longevity, this episode is for you.
Listen now and discover how Web3 can help us live longer, better, and freer.
