This will mostly be informal and will take place on a twitter space as a live audio conversation.

## Proposed Agenda
The conversation will be divided into two different parts:
**Technical & Applications @2:30pm UTC:** Part 1 will cover the technical and applications aspects of adding UDAs to the Zcash ecosystem
- What are UDAs and what are the extent of their applications?
- What are the main technical challenges in adopting UDAs in Zcash?
- How could UDAs be implemented in Zcash Orchard Protocol?
- [Write up of a proposed circuit design](https://github.com/zcash/zcash/issues/830#issuecomment-891855536).
- What applications could be built with the UDAs feature (e.g.: stable coins)
- Specifically, could it be used for a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) where some auditability properties may be needed?
**Economical & Usability @3:30pm UTC:** Part 2 will cover the economical and usability aspects of adding UDAs to the Zcash ecosystem
- What are the economic (dis)advantages for allowing UDAs on Zcash? How can they be overcome?
- What are the current economic incentives in Zcash and how would this change after adding UDAs functionality?
- What are important design and usability considerations (UX, product, incentives) needed to increase adoption with
- How can we ensure as a community that UDAs will have a positive impact on the zcash ecosystem and in general?
- Specifically,
Each part will have a Q&A of questions tweeted about the event. Feel free to start sharing them now :)
