Welcome
In this blog post, we explore the significance of the Optimism Fractal Hats Tree, a pivotal framework designed to enhance decision-making within the Optimism Fractal community. This innovative system leverages programmable on-chain roles, represented as "hats," to facilitate improved governance and collaboration.
Through a thorough examination of the Hats Protocol and its application in the Optimism Fractal ecosystem, we will explore how community members can actively participate by claiming their hats and engaging with the protocol. We will discuss its functionalities and the exciting possibilities it presents for the future of community engagement with Respect in the Optimism Fractal ecosystem.
Additionally, we celebrate the recognition of the Optimism Fractal Hats Tree as a co-winner in the inaugural Hats Protocol Hatathon, highlighting the collaborative efforts that led to this achievement. Join us as we uncover the features, functionalities, and future potential of this transformative tool in community engagement and organizational management.

What is Hats Protocol?
Hats Protocol is a powerful system for managing organizational roles and permissions on the blockchain. It allows organizations to create programmable "hats" - digital tokens that represent specific roles, responsibilities, and permissions. These hats can be automatically granted or revoked based on custom criteria, enabling efficient management of organizational structures and accountability.
Each hat functions as a bundle of permissions and responsibilities, which can be assigned to individuals, groups, or even smart contracts. The system creates a clear hierarchy of roles while maintaining flexibility and automation capabilities. This provides a a full-stack solution for organizing communities onchain.

Now, let's explore how the Optimism Fractal community is leveraging this innovative protocol through the Optimism Fractal Hats Tree...
Optimism Fractal Hats Tree is a Winner
We’re pleased to announce that the Optimism Fractal Hats Tree was selected a co-winner of the Mad Hatter grand prize in the first Hats Protocol Hatathon. You can explore the Optimism Fractal Hats Tree and claim your hats here.
Our founder Dan Singjoy collaborated with Jake Homanics, a talented builder in the Optimism Fractal community, to build the Optimism Fractal Hats Tree. This is an important first step towards many more powerful integrations between Optimism Fractal and Hats Protocol. You can learn more in the ‘Hats Protocol + Optimism Fractal’ telegram group where we’re planning the next steps with the Hats founders. Huge thanks to Jacob for the amazing technical work building the Hats Tree and all the great support from the Haberdasher Labs team.
We commemorated the momentous win at the following week’s Optimism Town Hall event, which you can watch in this video. You can also watch our follow up town hall episode with Hats co-founder David Ehrlichman for more details!
How to claim Optimism Fractal Hats
So far, we’ve created a basic Hats Tree that enables anyone who has earned Respect at Optimism Fractal weekly events to claim a Rookie Hat, which grants access to the Optimism Fractal charmverse space and a new networking page for builders. The Hats Tree also enables anyone who has earned over 50 Respect and read the tutorial article about fractalgram to claim a Respect Game Leader hat, which signifies that you can lead a breakout room at weekly events. If you have earned Optimism Fractal Respect then you can now claim your hats to help enhance our integrations with Hats Protocol. You can claim the Rookie Hat by clicking here, then connecting your wallet and clicking the ‘claim hat’ button near the right side of the screen. If you’d like to signify that you’re ready to host a breakout room for the Respect Game then you can also claim the Rising Star, Fractalgram Certification, and Respect Game Leader hats as well. You can also join this chat to learn more and participate in our discussions with the founders of Hats Protocol.
