Welcome
We build open-source tools centered around the Respect Game - an amazing onchain social game where communities collaborate, evaluate impact, and make collective decisions. Our tools are built around Respect, a soulbound token that enables communities to measure contributions, make decisions, and reward positive impact in a highly composable way.
Our software helps communities thrive by making governance engaging and effective, with particular focus on enhancing coordination and decision-making on Ethereum. From enhancing protocol governance in the Optimism Collective to empowering local communities coming onchain, our infrastructure provides essential coordination tools for all organizations with a revolutionary governance process called fractal democracy.
Our two flagship applications:
- Respect Games App: For asynchronous gameplay and community coordination, with an all-in-one app in beta version where you can start a game immediately
- Fractalgram: For live events and real-time community engagement, featuring integration with our powerful ORDAO smart contract infrastructure for onchain execution
Both apps feature sleek gameplay experiences, robust EVM infrastructure, and powerful capabilities - and they're just the beginning. Explore below to discover our full suite of tools, protocols, frameworks, and integrations that work together to enable better governance and coordination through fractal decision-making processes.

Documentation & Resources
The articles below offer in-depth documentation for each tool, process, and game. In each of the following posts you'll find comprehensive overviews, engaging video demonstrations, and practical implementation examples. Each article showcases unique ways communities can enhance their coordination and decision-making abilities.
In addition to these articles, you’re welcome to explore our open-source code in our GitHub repositories, explore the Development Hub, and join our weekly events to learn more about ongoing projects and ways to contribute. For a detailed overview of the various code repositories for fractal apps, we invite you to explore the FRAPPS repository - a modular, open-source toolkit for building and implementing fractal apps on Ethereum (or other EVM-based blockchain networks). See the bottom of this page for more details about getting involved with development.
