Episode Summary
This episode brings together optimists who have been advancing the Superchain and the broader Ethereum ecosystem through various initiatives. Jacob demonstrates his work on OP Atlas, Optimism's mission-driven retro funding application, which has been redesigned to support dev tooling and onchain builders rounds with over 1,800 projects already enrolled. He details how the platform is evolving from periodic rounds to an ongoing application process, creating a consistent pathway for ecosystem funding.
The episode introduces Kirill from Lobby Finance (LobbyFi), who explains their innovative governance marketplace deployed on Optimism with nearly 300,000 OP tokens delegated. Lobby creates a transparent financial layer for governance participation through a community auction model, where voting power can be acquired and value is distributed back to delegators. This approach aims to democratize and financialize governance participation, making it more accessible and efficient. Significant ecosystem building was highlighted through participants' efforts at ETH Denver, where Abraham and Dan spent time promoting the Respect Game and fractal democracy. Dan details conversations with Optimism core members about potential interoperability applications for the Respect token across the Superchain, while Abraham shares his implementation of the Respect Game with his company and improvements to the mobile user interface. Rosmari showcases creating Optimism Fractal promotional materials, editing videos, and spreading awareness across multiple platforms. Through the Respect Game, participants collaboratively evaluated these contributions, recognizing Jacob's work on OP Atlas with Level 6, Kirill's Lobby Finance with Level 5, Dan's ecosystem promotion with Level 4, Abraham's development work with Level 3, and Rosmari's content creation with Level 2. The episode demonstrates how the Respect Game enables peer recognition through democratic consensus, creating an engaging mechanism for measuring ecosystem impact that's recorded on the OP Mainnet.
