Unfolding RetroPGF and Optimism Grants
Lets explore the amazing grant opportunities within the Optimism ecosystem and find ways to fund the Eden Fractal community through retroactive public goods funding.
For anyone that’s unfamiliar with Optimism Collective, this is a new type of community designed to reward public goods and build a sustainable future for the open internet. Optimism is a pioneering Ethereum L2 community that is highly aligned with our values for creating public goods and improving human coordination for everyone’s benefit!
In case you’ve missed our last episode, we encourage you to watch Dan’s introductory presentation about Optimism at 1:50:20, highlighting the Optimism Fractal grant proposal to start a new community at 2:03:55. The introductory presentation provides an overview of brilliant innovations from The Optimism Collective, including RetroPGF, Superchain, and the Optimistic Vision.
This week, our group of heroes discussed the newly curated draft article about Optimism, encouraging a deep dive into a sunny pool of opportunities. A presentation at 26:36 gives Optimism topics’ a quick peak, being part of the main Eden Fractal Topics. You can taste the feeling of excitement as we delve into each one at 1:23:00 covering Intro to Optimism, Optimism RetroPGF, and the Optimism RFG 6 - Academic Research topics!
The academic grant was another opportunity discussed at 1:39:56, aligned with the work from members such as Jorge and Eric, which got interested to participate in future rounds. Dan provided links and educated the group on the Academic grant during 2:09:55, while also informing about the RetroPGF grant details between 2:09:55 - 2:10:49.
Optimism Fractal Grant
The Optimism Fractal proposal aims to empower the Optimism ecosystem with the next generation of collaborative games, tools, and shows pioneered by Eden Fractal and ƒractally. We invite you to read more in our latest show notes.
Following on from the last Eden Fractal meeting where the Optimism Fractal grant was presented between 2:04:06 - 2:09:01, the high interest in collaboration amongst players strongly persisted. The interest continued going up rapidly ever since the topic was mentioned between 1:30:151:31:05, which opened the floor for an enthusiastic group discussion. The main sub-topics discussed were ways that Optimism Fractal grant can support Eden Fractal members, with a focus on the wider Optimism community starting at 1:34:30.
The discussion around Optimism Fractal’s grant plan was going in full steam at 1:39:56, then followed by a group discussion on software development and EVM implementation for Optimism community chain between 1:45:06 - 1:54:16. This acted as a smooth segway to a naturally formed Q and A session where Optimism Fractal, Eden Fractal and RetroPGF benefits and synergies were beautifully composed during . This conveyed the root message and mutual aim to create more public goods, one being the Optimism Fractal grant proposal explored in-depth between 2:02:012:07:47. The exercise provided more colour on the application process, variety of grant applications, whilst opening the door for inspiring collaborations on future Optimism grant opportunities. Let’s cooperate!
