Episode Summary
Welcome to Optimism Fractal 65, where Superchain builders gathered for another engaging session of collaboration and community coordination!
This week's session welcomed Sebastian for his first Optimism Fractal event, bringing fresh perspectives on educating newcomers to the fractal process. He shared thoughtful ideas about creating accessible onboarding experiences for people completely new to crypto, exploring how committees could use fractal processes for decision-making, and brainstorming a mining app concept to get people engaged. Meanwhile, Tadas presented his technical work deprecating the ORDAO Office Hours service, explaining how making respect distributions immutable creates a prototype process that other fractals can reuse when upgrading their deployments. He's also been supporting Harvesto's research on fractal consensus processes and handling essential administrative tasks across the ecosystem.
The session showcased Rosmari's extensive community-building efforts, including promoting Optimism Fractal events across multiple channels, creating eye-catching thumbnails for videos, editing content with timestamps and descriptions, and responding to interested builders on the governance forum. She's been actively bridging Eden and Optimism Fractal participants, strengthening connections across the ecosystem. Dan presented his fifth deliverable for the Optimism Fractal research mission, featuring an innovative design prototype for a gamified user interface that could transform Respect Games from Zoom calls into arena-style sporting events. He also shared his work hosting Eden Fractal's 123rd event and Eden Town Hall, updating the Genesis Fractal article, and coordinating with DAOs on ecosystem development.
The group engaged in rich discussions about integrating AI with fractal governance, referencing Vitalik's deepfunding.org initiative and exploring how artificial intelligence could enhance contribution curation. They also addressed practical matters, deciding to test Abraham's updated Fractalgram web app in ORDAO Fractal before production use, and planning synchronized break schedules with a potential Impact Concert collaboration with EZ Crypto. The Respect Game concluded successfully with Dan earning Level 6, Sebastian Level 5 for his valuable first-time participation, Tadas Level 4, and Rosmari Level 3, demonstrating how the community values both technical infrastructure and welcoming new perspectives to build the Superchain together.
