What is Cagendas?
Cagendas is a collaborative agenda game that empowers community members to fairly propose, discuss, and vote on topics with reputation tokens. You can think of Cagendas as a game for community agendas, cooperative agendas, or consensus agendas.
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.
While this innovative community agenda is being developed at Optimism town Hall, it has the potential to create profound benefits for all communities and organizations by enabling groups to effectively prioritize discussions, fairly structure conversation spaces, and ensure that the topics that matter most get the attention they deserve.

Game Rules
At the beginning of Optimism Fractal’s third season, the council approved a proposal to start playing Cagendas at a new event called Optimism Town Hall. The following rules were approved and have been in effect since April. You can learn more about Optimism Town Hall in this article.
Here are the 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.
Development
Community Project
Cagendas is a community-driven project and everyone is welcome to contribute to it’s development. You can actively contribute to the development of Cagendas by participating in weekly events and exploring resources, tasks, and sub-projects in this project on the community notion site.

Auxiliary Reputation Tokens
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 find a project and several tasks related towards the implementation of new kinds of Respect tokens for Cagendas games here.
Cagendas Game Modes
In addition to the rules of Cagendas described above, there are also many other ways to play Cagendas. One shining example is OPTOPICS, an innovative community agenda game where community members to propose, vote, and dynamically coordinate discussion topics during our events.
OPTOPICS enhances the original Cagendas game mode by providing structure for real-time interaction and flexibility during events. While the original Cagendas game allows the community to choose one topic before events, OPTOPICS empowers participants to dynamically propose and choose to discuss many topics throughout the event. You can learn more about OPTOPICS in this article.
