One of the unique features of the Fractal App smart contract is an automated MSIG functionality that dynamically updates permissions to include the most respected members who have earned the most respect in the past twelve weeks. This functionality is already enabled in Alien Worlds Fractal as you can see in this article and you can learn more about the app here. You can see the Github Repository for the open source software here and learn more in this article.

Components

There are three main components of the Fractal App: the smart contract, fractal node, and user interface.

One of the unique features of the Fractal App smart contract is an automated MSIG functionality that dynamically updates permissions to include the most respected members who have earned the most respect in the past twelve weeks. Other exciting features include the contract holding the application state, the ability to trigger contract state changes through community member actions, privileged actions for respected community members on the automated MSIG, RNG for random grouping during meetings, automatic validation of ranking results, claimability of any number of tokens in proportion to respect points, and automatic distribution of eosio.token based on member rankings.

The fractal node includes a web server for user interface access, a Janus WebRTC server for hosting and recording breakout room video sessions, and a simple API for controlling the application. It allows for opening and closing breakout rooms and restricts access to certain rooms based on randomly determined EOS accounts.

The user interface is a browser app that gives community access to the applicatio, facilitates the video sessions and live ranking of the participants, loads the corresponding features depending on the status of the blockchain account, and facilitates membership management, (including the induction system).

Features

Smart contract:

• Contract owned by most respected WG members as determined by fractal democracy.
• Contract holds the entire application state.
• State changes are triggered by community members executing actions on the contract.
• Some actions are privileged only executable by msiggers.
• Features RNG for random grouping of the members during the weekly meetings (https://medium.com/@matthias.schoenebeck/r4ndomnumb3r-7a26d36e8018).
• Automatically validates ranking results.
• Distributes any eosio.token based on WG members ranking each other.

Fractal node:

• Runs web server for the user interface so community members have access to the application.
• Runs Janus WebRTC server to host and record the breakout room video sessions.
• Provides a simple API through which the fractally application can be controlled.
• Opens/closes breakout rooms.
• Only allows certain EOS accounts access to certain rooms (determined randomly by the smart contract).

User interface:

• Browser app
• Gives community access to the application
• Facilitates the video sessions and live ranking of the participants
• Loads the corresponding features depending on the status of the EOS account
• Facilitates membership management, including the induction system

Overview of Features

The first version of the web-app that Vlad is building includes following features:

1. WebRTC integration for weekly video meetings.
2. Automatic video recording for all the meetings.
3. Automated Respect distribution system.
4. Dynamic permission system of the contract based on member's Respect holdings.
5. Onchain member randomization into groups for the weekly meetings.
6. Onchain ranking validation.

Overview of Benefits

Benefits of fractal apps include:

1. The contract of the Fractal app constantly at the hands of most respected community members).
2. Compensation distribution system for members of the community.
3. Increased accountability and engagement from the community members (onchain proof of participation in the meetings).
4. Possibility of further development, including additional on-chain modules that further increase the collaboration, productivity and cohesion of the community

This provides a high level overview of benefits provided by the Fractal App and many more details will be added soon. For more details about the benefits of this app, you’re welcome to explore many more benefits described in our article about the Respect Game.

Many other features have also been developed since this article was written in late 2023 and more details will be added soon.

Relationship with Optimism

The Fractal App is currently built with smart contracts on Antelope blockchains, but all of the software could be ported over to Optimism and Vlad has expressed interest in porting the software. These tools could synergize with helpful primitives on Optimism like ERC-4337 and Hats Protocol. The deep research, development, and live environment testing conducted in another Web3 ecosystem serves a valuable role in refining for their development on Optimism.

We will also add a direct link to the app so you can experience it for yourself in the near future. You can find more details about the most recent version of this app in this article and learn more about different versions of this app in this overview. You can also learn more about an earlier version of this app here and find more details about the software components to automatically update permissions in this episode of Eden Fractal.
