What is Cagendas?
Cagendas is a social coordination game for collaborative agenda setting that empowers community members to propose, discuss, and vote on topics with Respect. Everyone is welcome to play Cagendas at Optimism Town Hall weekly events on Thursdays at 18 UTC to participate in governance discussions, pioneer the future of community coordination, and help lead the Optimism Collective
This community agenda game provides a simple, structured, and scalable way for everyone who has earned Respect at Optimism Fractal to propose topics or vote on topics they want to discuss at weekly events after the Respect Game. Cagendas can create profound benefits by prioritizing discussions and ensuring that the topics that matter most to our community get the attention they deserve.
Organizing Discussions with Cagendas
The Optimism Town Hall is trailblazing how community discussions are organized in a democratic and interactive manner with Cagendas, a social coordination game for collaborative agenda setting that empowers community members to propose, deliberate, and prioritize discussion topics with Respect.
Here are the current rules of Cagendas:
- Anyone who has earned Respect at Optimism Fractal can propose a topic by creating a poll in the Optimism Town Hall snapshot space.
- Anyone who has earned Respect at Optimism Fractal can vote on polls with their Respect to help determine the discussion topic for each weekly event.
- Whichever poll has received the most votes in the Topic Poll by Monday at 17 UTC will be the topic discussed during the week’s event after the Respect Game.
- The poll for the topic proposal must end on Monday at 17 UTC (or earlier) to be eligible as a formal topic proposal for the week’s event.
We’re also exploring ways to create an auxiliary reputation token that allows citizens, delegates, public goods creators, and other stakeholders in the Optimism Collective to vote in Cagendas games without needing to play the Respect Game. You can explore more and contribute development of Cagendas here.
