Introducing RetroPGF Pitches and the Public Goods Games!

Introducing RetroPitches and the Public Goods Games!

Hey optimists,

Today we ask three important questions and invite you to join joyful competitions to optimize the growth of Optimism!

1. How can public goods creators stand out from the crowd and be recognized for their work?

2. How can citizens fairly reward everyone creating a positive impact to the Optimism Collective?

3. What is the best way to share fun, inspiring experiences that help everyone enjoy the benefits of Optimism?

The answer dear friends is Public Goods Games. Imagine epic tournaments where talented creators compete, collaborate, and coordinate to help the Optimism Collective. Like the Olympic Games, but for creating public goods.

Imagine groups of builders, artists, and entrepreneurs coming together from around the world to share their work and award public goods creators who grow Optimism. A community gathering of optimistic leaders playing innovative consensus games to spread the Optimistic Vision, summon Ether’s Pheonix, and create a better future for all.

We’re pleased to announce the first RetroPGF Pitch Games, aka RetroPitches!

The RetroPitch games will give public goods creators a great opportunity to promote their RetroPGF grant and provide citizens with an easy way to learn about exciting projects in the Optimism Collective. RetroPitches will feature fun, friendly competitions where optimists pitch their grants then rank each other’s pitches to shine a light on public goods!

Over the next three weeks participants will be challenged to pitch and judge grants in a variety of categories, such as the most positive impact for the Collective and the most amusing presentations. The events will take place on zoom calls and videos produced to create a spectacular new kind of gameshow focused on promoting public goods creators and providing educational resources to inspire the world with Optimism.

Each RetroPGF project owner will have up to five minutes on stage to promote their work and all qualified attendees can play as judges to help determine the scores for each player. All participants will receive commemorative awards and the winners will earn special prizes, including the first onchain art ever minted by Optimystics. The videos will be shared across Web3 social networks to raise awareness for public goods on Optimism and the scores from each game may be used to help badgeholders allocate funding in RetroPGF.

Everyone is welcome to join the first RetroPitch games for the next three Mondays at 18 UTC at Optimism Fractal. If you’d like to pitch your grant in any of the first three RetroPitch games, please sign up here to reserve your spot. Spots are limited to five grantees per game, so act fast to ensure that you’ll be able to pitch. You can watch videos of previous pitch games and learn more about this awesome public goods game at Optimystics.io/RetroPitches.

• We can share a shorter versio

The RetroPitch games are hosted by Optimystics at Optimism Fractal, a community with fun weekly events dedicated to fostering collaboration and awarding public goods creators on Optimism. In addition to RetroPitches, we also play another wonderful public goods game at Optimism Fractal meetings!

At the heart of Optimism Fractal is the Respect Game. We’ve been pioneering this innovative consensus game for years with hundreds of talented Web3 builders and we started Optimism Fractal last month to grow Optimism with the profound benefits of the Respect Game. We play the Respect Game at Optimism Fractal on Mondays at 17 UTC (which is an hour before the RetroPitch games) and everyone is welcome to join.

The Respect Game provides a perfect place to collaborate with visionary optimists and earn respect for helping the Optimism Collective. In this game, each player gets to introduce themselves and share their work with a friendly group of optimists. After each player takes their turn, they try to reach consensus in ranking their contributions to Optimism and then they post the rankings to the OP Mainnet with our intuitive web app. All players who reach consensus earn Respect, a soulbound token that can give you mystical powers and help badgeholders understand your impact in future seasons of RetroPGF.

You can join our weekly events, watch our previous episodes, and explore our blog to learn more about how the Optimism Fractal Respect Game can create profound benefits for the Optimism Collective. While RetroPitches has a limited amount of spots for public goods creators to pitch their grants, we can accommodate any amount of players in the Respect Game due to it’s fractal nature where we split up into breakout groups. You can find tutorials and learn more about the wonders of the this magical community game at Optimystics.io/RespectGame.

Pitches are played with the new Cignals app, which enables communities to express consensus more effectively than ever before. One of our favorite parts of pitch sessions is how they can inspire cool shows. Similar to ideathons and other FractalJoy games, these pitch sessions provide natural opportunities for communities to collaboratively create media with the power of DAMS. For example, we’ve hosted four Pomelo Pitch Sessions at Eden Fractal meetings.

RetroPitches can now be played by any community on Optimism.

The players successfully tested the alpha version of the Cignals app, which can be used in the future to enable players to use greater voting power based on the Respect that they earn in Respect Games.

Over time we aim to update the game with the following:

Much more coming soon!
