What if your city ran on code instead of committees?

In this episode of the Wirex Podcast, host Lianna Adams sits down with Ravi Chamria, Co-founder and CEO of Zeeve, to explore one of the boldest ideas in Web3: decentralized cities. From blockchain-powered governance to smart contract-enabled public services, we’re asking the big questions—can cities really run without centralized control? And more importantly, should they?


We dive into:

  • What decentralized cities actually are (beyond the buzz)
  • Real-world pilot projects using blockchain infrastructure
  • The promise and perils of smart contracts in city management
  • Who’s accountable when automation goes wrong
  • And whether the future of urban life lies more in philosophy than tech

Whether you're a technologist, urbanist, or just Web3-curious, this conversation is one you won’t want to miss.
