The map is empty until you drop an anchor. In the Zusei ecosystem, creating a listing is not like posting a flyer on a social media timeline where it will be buried by an algorithm in fifteen minutes.
When you create a listing on Zusei, you are manipulating geospatial reality. You are creating a verified destination that drives actual human bodies to a specific coordinate on the Earth.
However, not all physical activations operate the same way. A permanent flagship retail store functions very differently than an underground warehouse rave that only exists from midnight to 6:00 AM.
To accommodate the vast spectrum of culture, Zusei divides physical reality into two distinct listing types: Nodes and Events.
Here is the definitive playbook on how to utilize the Zusei Editor to create, format, and deploy your physical listings to the network.
The Fundamental Distinction: Nodes vs. Events
Before you touch the editor, you must decide what kind of reality you are creating.
What is a Node? (The Permanent Anchor) A Node is an always-on, persistent physical location. Think of a Node as your brick-and-mortar headquarters. Use the Node classification if you are registering a coffee shop, a streetwear boutique, a skate park, or an art gallery.
Mechanics: Nodes operate on Operating Hours (e.g., Monday-Friday, 9 AM - 5 PM). They do not require RSVPs or tickets. Instead, they rely on gamified foot traffic. You place a bounty on the Node, and users earn ZP (Zusei Points) simply by walking through the door and achieving Proof of Presence.
What is an Event? (The Time-Locked Experience) An Event is a scarce, temporary cultural moment. Use the Event classification if you are hosting a music festival, a one-night pop-up shop, a Web3 holder meetup, or a private VIP afterparty.
Mechanics: Events are defined by Start Times and End Times. Once the clock expires, the event is permanently locked and archived. Events feature complex ticketing, multi-tiered guest lists, capacity caps, and dynamic Omniscanner check-ins.
Step 1: Entering the Editor
From your Vendor Portal, click the prominent "Create Listing" button. This routes you into the Editor's page. The Zusei Editor is a clean, single-page application designed to eliminate friction while giving you granular control over your data.
Step 2: Crafting the Aesthetic and Metadata
First impressions dictate ticket sales. The editor begins with your visual and structural data.
The Thumbnail & Flyer: Upload your high-resolution artwork. Zusei automatically optimizes this media for both the mobile feed and the immersive desktop view.
The Title & Category: Be concise. Select a category (Music, Retail, Web3, Art) to ensure your listing is routed to the correct subculture algorithms on the Explore page.
The Description (WYSIWYG Power): Zusei utilizes a massive Rich Text editor. You are not limited to plain text. You can format your event manifesto with bold headers, italicized lineup announcements, bulleted rules, and embedded links. Tell the community exactly what they are walking into.
Step 3: Privacy
This is the most critical step in the creation process. You must tell the Proof of Presence engine where the action is happening.
The Address & Coordinates: As you type your address, the system will auto-suggest the exact global coordinates, dropping a pin on the map.
The Validation Radius: You dictate the strictness of the geofence. By default, Zusei sets a 50-meter validation radius. This means a user must be within 50 meters of your exact pin to scan the QR code. You can tighten this for massive security, or expand it if you are hosting a sprawling outdoor festival.
The Private Location Feature: Are you throwing an underground party? Toggle the "Hide Address" switch. When activated, the public map will only show the city (e.g., "Taipei, Taiwan"). The exact street address and coordinates remain entirely hidden from the public until a user successfully purchases a ticket or secures an RSVP. This is the ultimate tool for building mystery and preventing uninvited crowds from swarming your door.
Step 4: Time and Schedule
For Events: You will select a definitive Start Date/Time and End Date/Time. The Zusei engine is globally aware; it will automatically translate your local timezone into the exact local time for any user viewing your page around the world.
For Nodes: You will use the Operating Hours matrix. You can define exact open and close times for every day of the week, or mark specific days as "Closed." The Zusei UI will dynamically display an "Open Now" or "Closed" badge to users based on the current time in reality.
Step 5: The Escrow and Bounties
Finally, you must define the economics of your door.
The Check-In Reward: How much ZP are you paying users to show up? If you set this to 50 ZP, the Zusei engine will escrow 50 ZP from your merchant wallet every time someone scans your door. This is your foot traffic acquisition cost.
The QR Bonus: Zusei applies a standard global bonus to all scans, but as a merchant, you can override this to inject massive incentives for weekend takeovers.
