Last night we shipped two important improvements to the MyZubster open-source ecosystem: a formal safety baseline for our Metaverse and a public connection to the MyZubster Space Station.
Neon Plaza is becoming a real shared environment
The MyZubster Metaverse is available here:
https://www.myzubster.com/metaverse
Neon Plaza already supports:
- Shared MongoDB-backed presence
- Keyboard and touch movement
- Public chat and emotes
- Proximity awareness
- Guest and account-linked characters
- Portals to Marketplace, LIFE, Identity, Visual and Zorgax
- Session and browser capability dashboards
The current synchronization model uses serverless-compatible shared polling. WebSockets, 3D/WebXR rendering and spatial voice remain part of the future roadmap.
Privacy and abuse-control baseline
We merged PR #920, which documents the verified privacy and retention boundaries of Neon Plaza.
The baseline establishes that:
- Presence expires after 90 seconds of inactivity
- Public chat expires after one hour
- User-controlled inputs are sanitized and length-limited
- Logs exclude chat content, tokens and session identifiers
- Authenticated characters are resolved through MyZubster accounts
- Client-provided identity claims are never considered verified
- Permanent movement history is not collected
The change passed CI, frontend and backend tests, lint, Security Audit, Continuous Evidence Gate and Vercel checks.
We also documented the remaining gaps honestly: distributed rate limiting, spam detection, mute, block, reporting, moderator auditing and formal deletion procedures are not complete yet.
MyZubster Space Station is online
We also merged PR #921, introducing the public Space Station dashboard:
https://www.myzubster.com/space-station
The website now accesses station health, robot and mission information through same-origin API proxy routes. Backend secrets are never exposed to the browser.
The live health service currently reports:
{
"station": "MYZUBSTER-SPACE-STATION",
"status": "online",
"version": "0.2.0"
}
Browser access remains read-only. Inventory mutations, economic operations and robot commands will not be exposed until a production authentication and authorization layer is available.
A broader read-only integration for spaces, inventory, MYZ balances and missions is under development in PR #919.
Where this is going
The goal is to connect several real components:
- Neon Plaza as the social and immersive layer
- Space Station as the robotics and mission layer
- MyZubster Identity for persistent participants
- Marketplace for creator services and digital resources
- LIFE projects for environmental data and verifiable missions
- Evidence gates for reproducible technical claims
The priority is not to call everything “complete.” The priority is to build openly, test each layer and distinguish production functionality from experiments and roadmap ideas.
MyZubster is gradually becoming an open ecosystem where people, software agents, robots and real-world data can interact through verifiable identities and transparent infrastructure.
