Lets explore the amazing grant opportunities within the Optimism ecosystem and opportunities to fund public goods creators with the axiom of Impact=Profit.
For anyone that’s unfamiliar with Optimism Collective, this 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!
In case you’ve missed our 66th episode, we encourage you to watch Dan’s introductory presentation about Optimism at 1:50:20, highlighting the Optimism Fractal grant proposal to start a new community at 2:03:55. The introductory presentation provides an overview of brilliant innovations from The Optimism Collective, including RetroPGF, Superchain, and the Optimistic Vision.
This week, our group of heroes discussed the newly curated draft article about Optimism, encouraging a deep dive into a sunny pool of opportunities. A presentation at 26:36 gives Optimism topics’ a quick peak, being part of the main Eden Fractal Topics. You can taste the feeling of excitement as we delve into each one at 1:23:00 covering Intro to Optimism, Optimism RetroPGF, and the Optimism RFG 6 - Academic Research topics!
