Hello fellow traveller,
Thanks for stopping by, we hope you are having a very optimistic day! This article was written in September 2023 and provides timestamps from a live discussion with community leaders during the 66th Eden Fractal meeting, which you can see below or in the original show notes. Enjoy!
What is Optimism?
The Optimism Collective is a new type of community designed to reward public goods and build a sustainable future for the open internet. Optimism is a pioneering Ethereum L2 community that is highly aligned with Eden Fractal’s values for creating public goods and improving human coordination for everyone’s benefit.
We encourage you to watch Dan Singjoy’s introductory presentation about Optimism at 1:50:20 and a presentation about a grant proposal to start a new community called Optimism Fractal at 2:03:55. The introductory presentation provides an overview of brilliant innovations from The Optimism Collective, including RetroPGF, Superchain, and the Optimistic Vision.
We’re excited to share more educational resources about Optimism to help grow abundant communities, improve humanity’s mechanisms for funding public goods, and create profound benefits for all. You can watch our videos, explore our show notes, and join our events in future weeks to take part in our epic journey as Eden Fractal starts growing with Optimism. You can learn more exciting details about Optimism in this article, announcement, and Optimism.io! 🔴
Optimism Fractal Original Proposal
The Optimism Fractal proposal aims to empower the Optimism ecosystem with the next generation of collaborative games, tools, and shows pioneered by Eden Fractal and ƒractally. In addition to helping Optimism, the proposal aims to empower all communities with tools for fractal consensus games and independent cooperation on the Ethereum Virtual Machine (or EVM) and OP Stack, which are the world’s leading software infrastructures for decentralized computing. These presentations set the stage for many fascinating community discussions about the synergies between Eden Fractal and the Optimism ecosystem.
